Twee verticale panelen

Daniël Marot created these two vertical panels with etching techniques. Notice the cherubs—or putti— that adorn these panels, symbols of divine love. Their roots extend back to ancient Greece and Rome, where similar figures represented Eros and Cupid, embodying desire. These classical figures experienced a Christian rebirth in Renaissance art, representing purity and spiritual love. Also, consider the motif of the vase or urn that appears, often flanked by figures. In classical antiquity, these vessels held ashes, bridging the mortal world with the afterlife. See how it echoes across time, from ancient Etruscan tombs to neoclassical monuments. This visual language resurfaces and transforms, a testament to our enduring fascination with love and mortality.
