"Putti Playing With The Attributes Of Mercury" is a notable work by the Dutch artist Jacob de Wit, who was renowned for his mastery in the Rococo style and his exceptional skill in creating illusionistic ceiling paintings and decorative panels. Born in Amsterdam in 1695, de Wit became one of the most sought-after artists of his time, particularly known for his depictions of cherubs, or "putti," which became a hallmark of his oeuvre.

This particular painting, "Putti Playing With The Attributes Of Mercury," exemplifies de Wit's ability to blend mythological themes with playful and dynamic compositions. The work features a group of putti, the chubby, angelic figures often used in Baroque and Rococo art, engaging with the symbolic items associated with Mercury, the Roman god of commerce, communication, and travelers. These attributes typically include the caduceus (a staff entwined with two serpents), a winged helmet, and winged sandals, all of which are rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a sense of lively interaction among the putti.

De Wit's technique in this painting showcases his adept use of chiaroscuro, creating a striking contrast between light and shadow that adds depth and volume to the figures. The playful nature of the putti, combined with the classical references, reflects the Rococo era's fascination with both the frivolous and the erudite. The painting's composition is carefully balanced, with the putti arranged in a manner that guides the viewer's eye across the canvas, ensuring that each attribute of Mercury is prominently displayed.

"Putti Playing With The Attributes Of Mercury" is not only a testament to Jacob de Wit's artistic prowess but also a reflection of the cultural and artistic trends of the 18th century. It captures the essence of Rococo art, with its emphasis on lightness, elegance, and decorative beauty, while also paying homage to classical mythology. This work remains an important piece within de Wit's body of work and continues to be admired for its technical excellence and charming subject matter.
