A new exhibition opened at the National Museum in Kraków in late June. Entitled Winged. Putti in Renaissance Art, the show examines the iconography and phenomenon of these figures in art of the 15th and 16th centuries.
According to the museum's website:
Putti is a popular decorative motif that enriches countless works of modern European art. This charming phenomenon showing the image of small, winged angels certainly intrigues and arouses curiosity. The exhibition in the Main Building presents the subject on the example of the Renaissance, mainly Italian and German countries, against a broad background of ancient and modern European art.
The exhibition will run until 6th October 2024.
