"A Putto in Flight Raising a Tabula Above His Head" is a notable work by the Italian engraver and painter Cherubino Alberti, also known as Borghegiano (1553–1615). This piece is emblematic of the Mannerist period, a style that emerged in the late Renaissance, characterized by its artificiality, grace, and elegance, often featuring elongated figures and unconventional poses. The artwork depicts a putto, a figure of a chubby male child, often naked and sometimes winged, which was commonly used in Renaissance art to embody the sacred.

In this particular engraving, the putto is captured mid-flight, dynamically raising a tabula, or tablet, above his head. The tabula often serves as a symbolic element in art, potentially bearing a message or inscription. The movement and poise of the putto suggest a sense of urgency or importance in delivering the message, while also showcasing Alberti's skill in rendering the complexity of human anatomy and the challenges of depicting figures in motion.

Cherubino Alberti, a member of a distinguished family of artists, was known for his contributions to both painting and printmaking. His works often reflect the influence of his contemporaries and predecessors, such as Raphael and Michelangelo, while also demonstrating his own artistic innovation. "A Putto in Flight Raising a Tabula Above His Head" not only exemplifies Alberti's adeptness in the medium of engraving but also provides insight into the iconography and thematic preferences of the late Renaissance period.

The artwork remains an important piece for the study of Mannerist art and the development of printmaking in Italy. It is a testament to Alberti's mastery of the engraving process and his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through the interplay of figures and symbols. As with many works of its time, it likely served both an aesthetic and didactic purpose, engaging viewers with its beauty while conveying deeper symbolic meanings.
