Allegory of Spring is a 1720 oil by Sebastiano Conca, a Rococo painting work, depicting Putto, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting features a putto, or cherub, sitting on a rock and holding a bouquet of flowers. The putto is depicted in a classical style, with a gentle expression and soft, rounded features. The background of the painting is dark and muted, which helps to highlight the putto and the flowers. The putto's body is rendered in smooth, flowing curves, and its skin has a warm, golden glow. The flowers in its hand are delicate and intricate, with petals that seem to be unfolding from the center of the bouquet. The overall effect of the painting is one of serenity and beauty. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
