A putto is a figure in artwork depicted as a chubby male child, usually naked and very often winged. Originally limited to profane passions in symbolism, putto came to represent a type of angel in religious art, often called cherubim, although in traditional Christian theology the cherub is actually one of the oldest types of angels. The same figures were also seen in representations of classical myth and increasingly in general decorative art. In Baroque art, the putto came to represent the omnipresence of God. A putto representing cupid is also called amorino or amoretto.
The Anichini were a family of Italian Renaissance sculptors. They were also the leading engravers of engraved gems for seals and medals in Renaissance Italy. Francesco Anichini (fl. 1449–1526) was a leading gem cutter in Venice, receiving commissions from Isabella d'Este and others.
