Cherub Reuben after Raphael

Oil On Canvas

17.2 x 29.9 x 1 in

$110

As an art project, I painted Raphael's cherubs, but with the face of my grandson, Reuben, at the age of 9 months. I love the expressions on the faces of these two cherubs - seriously contemplating their next move.
Refer Cherubs from the Sistine Madonna by Raphael painted between 1513 and 1514
The painting's figures consist of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ child, Saint Sixtus, and Saint Barbara who is looking down at the little cherubs whose facial expression seems to imply boredom and restlessness. They appear eager to finish their holy duties and be free to play. Regardless of their intent, they add a sense of intrigue to the scene, contrasting beautifully with the humourless miens of the figures above them.
