EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Heinrich Schmitz's masterpiece, "Seven Putti Carrying a Garland of Fruit" created between 1780-87. The image transports us to the enchanting Baroque era, where angelic cherubs known as putti take center stage. These cherubim children are depicted in their natural state of innocence, with their nakedness symbolizing purity and vulnerability. The composition is meticulously etched and engraved, showcasing Schmitz's exceptional skill in capturing intricate details. The garland of fruit delicately held by the putti adds a touch of nature's bounty to this ethereal scene. Inspired by the works of renowned artist Peter Paul Rubens, Schmitz pays homage to his German heritage while infusing his own unique style into this piece. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and mythology that art can convey across centuries. It invites viewers to contemplate concepts such as love, youthfulness, and spirituality through its kitsch yet profound portrayal. As we gaze upon these seven putti carrying their symbolic offering, we are transported back in time to an idyllic country setting where flowers bloom abundantly. This artwork reminds us that even amidst the chaos of modern life, there is still room for contemplation and connection with our natural surroundings. Heinrich Schmitz's "Seven Putti Carrying a Garland of Fruit" stands as an exquisite example of artistic expression that transcends
