<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2238454, member: 5833"]It's one word for them. Putti is used more often in English; the Italian Albani called them amorini, little loves. They're wingless, but you can see all their cast off archery equipment in the foreground. Venus & Cupid are on a cloud at the upper right. You can just see Pluto making off with Proserpina (Greek: Hades/Persephone) on the left, headed into the distance. This is an engraving of Albani's painting.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]255772[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]255773[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
