1602
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Flying Cupid is a 1602 by Annibale Carracci, a Renaissance work, depicting Putto, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a winged boy, Cupid, in the air. He's flying and looking back. The artist made this painting interesting by using a lot of movement and energy, which was not typical for this time period, and the way Cupid is looking back adds a sense of playfulness. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
Annibale Carracci ( kə-RAH-chee, UK also kə-RATCH-ee, Italian: ; November 3, 1560 – July 15, 1609) was an Italian painter and instructor, active in Bologna and later in Rome.
