"A Flying Putto Seen From Behind" is a baroque painting by the Italian artist Mattia Preti (1613–1699). Preti, who was a follower of Caravaggio, is known for his dynamic compositions and dramatic use of light and shadow, which are characteristic of the Baroque period. The artwork in question depicts a putto, which is a figure of a chubby male child, often nude and sometimes winged, commonly used in Renaissance and Baroque art. In this particular painting, the putto is captured in mid-flight, viewed from behind, which adds a sense of movement and liveliness to the piece.

The painting is an example of Preti's skill in rendering the human form with a sense of vitality and his ability to convey the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional canvas. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, is evident in this work and helps to create a dramatic effect, emphasizing the roundness of the putto's form and the softness of its flesh.

As with many of Preti's works, "A Flying Putto Seen From Behind" would have likely been part of a larger decorative scheme, possibly serving as a study for a fresco or a section of a more complex altarpiece. The painting's exact date of creation, original location, and commission details may not be well-documented, which is not uncommon for works of this period.

Mattia Preti's contributions to Baroque art are significant, and his works can be found in various museums and collections around the world. "A Flying Putto Seen From Behind" represents the artist's mastery of form and his ability to infuse his subjects with a sense of divine motion and energy, which are hallmarks of his artistic style.
