The winged figures are cherubim, which are very common in religious Renaissance paintings. They are a type of angel usually depicted as cute, round faced angels with red wings. They are regarded in traditional Christian symbolism as an angel of the second highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy. But here they are depicted as winged heads. They were originally painted silver, but over time tarnishing has made them turn more reddish. Have a question on your next visit at the Museum? Download our #askbkm app and ask away. ?
