The Triumph of Virtue and Nobility Over Ignorance, c. 1740-50 Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
"Mama, why are those babies falling?"
"They aren't falling, they're flying. See their wings? They're angels. Baby angels are called cherubs or putti."
"Why are their arms up?"
"They're helping, I think."
"Helping the good guys?"
"You could say that."
"Are they happy? I don't know if they're happy with those faces."
"I think they are doing their jobs."
"You call me, 'putti' sometimes."
"I do."
"I don't have wings."
"You do to me, Putti."
