Two chubby, winged children make music here, one beating a drum while the other clashes a pair of cymbals. Putti like these were a staple of European art from the Renaissance onward, borrowed from classical sculpture and placed in religious scenes to suggest heavenly joy rather than any specific story. Their playful racket reflects a long tradition of angels shown as musicians, who were imagined to fill heaven with song. Look closely at how the artist models their soft bodies and tumbling wings, which give the scene its lively, unposed energy.
