Did you know?
Cherubs—winged angelic beings depicted as chubby-cheeked infants or putti—have graced Western art since Renaissance Italy, where they appeared in religious paintings as symbols of divine presence and innocence. The iconic plump-faced cherub became a beloved secular motif in Valentine imagery and sentimental art, representing love, protection, and childhood wonder. This soft, contemporary interpretation carries that timeless tradition of cherubs as messengers of affection and joy.
