"An Allegory of Winter: Putti Gathered Around an Open Fire" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Carle van Loo (1705–1765). Created in the Rococo style, this artwork is part of a series of allegorical representations of the four seasons, a popular theme in European art during the 18th century. The painting is characterized by its playful and elegant depiction of putti, or cherubic children, which were a common motif in Rococo art, symbolizing love and the carefree nature of childhood.

In "An Allegory of Winter," van Loo presents a scene where a group of putti is congregated around a warming fire, a visual metaphor for the cold and dormant season. The composition captures the essence of winter not through a bleak landscape, but rather through the warmth and interaction of the figures, contrasting the chill of the season with the liveliness of the putti. The use of light and shadow, along with the warm color palette around the fire, serves to emphasize the central theme of seeking comfort against the cold.

Carle van Loo was a prominent member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture and held the position of First Painter to King Louis XV. His works were highly regarded for their elegance, refinement, and the skillful portrayal of the human figure. "An Allegory of Winter: Putti Gathered Around an Open Fire" exemplifies van Loo's mastery in capturing the grace and frivolity associated with the Rococo movement, making it an important work in the study of 18th-century French art.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural representation of the period's aesthetics and social mores. As with other allegorical works of the time, it offers insight into the historical context of the era, reflecting the tastes and interests of the aristocratic patrons who commissioned such pieces for their private collections. Today, the painting is appreciated for its historical value and its contribution to the understanding of Rococo art and the oeuvre of Carle van Loo.
