Headband - Two Infants with a Cardinals Hat, a Third with a Banderole
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting 17th-century print that captures the innocence and angelic beauty of three cherubic children. Created by French artist Claude Mellan during the Baroque era, this engraving showcases his exceptional attention to detail. In this close-up image, we see two infants wearing adorable cardinals hats while another child holds a banner or banderole. The delicate clothing they wear adds to their charm, as does their nakedness which symbolizes purity and vulnerability. The composition is beautifully framed in letterbox format, drawing our focus solely on these captivating young souls. Mellan's skillful technique brings out the intricate decorative elements of the print – from the fine lines that define each figure to the exquisite rendering of their features. The flag in the background hints at a religious context, perhaps alluding to these cherubs' divine nature. This remarkable artwork is housed in The Met museum and serves as a testament to Mellan's artistic prowess during his time. It transports us back to an era where innocence was celebrated through art and reminds us of the timeless appeal of classical masterpieces.
