Hans Rottenhammer was a German painter who worked in Munich and Venice. Jan Brueghel the Elder of Antwerp added the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey made small paintings on copper for collectors' cabinets. The Mauritshuis in The Hague owns a Rest on the Flight into Egypt of 1595 made this way. Rottenhammer painted the angels and Holy Family. Brueghel finished the woods, flowers and donkey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePutti and Cherubs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePutti come from the Eros figures of Greek and Roman art. In the late fifteenth century artists revived classical myth, and Cupid became a plump child. Italian painters of the Madonna also used putti to portray cherubim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is why putti jewelry can read as classical or as sacred. A baby angel pin keeps both meanings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn a Collar or a Coat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePin the two cherubs pin to a collar, a coat or a hat. It lies flat, so it suits knits and scarves. Wipe it with a dry cloth.

Hans Rottenhammer lived from 1564 to 1625. He became known in Venice for small, highly finished cabinet paintings on copper. The two cherubs pin is a late echo of those collectors' pictures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor More Reading from the Web\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn where the plump flying child came from, and why artists used it for cherubim.
