"Putti desporting with fruit" is a fresco attributed to Polidoro da Caravaggio, also known as Polidoro Caldara, an Italian Mannerist painter of the Renaissance period. Polidoro is renowned for his work in Rome, where he developed a highly individual style characterized by the use of chiaroscuro and the depiction of vigorous and dramatic figures. Although he is primarily known for his large-scale frescoes and decorations of Roman palaces and churches, his smaller works, such as "Putti desporting with fruit," also showcase his artistic talents.

The fresco features putti, which are chubby male children, often naked and sometimes winged, that were a popular motif in Renaissance art. These figures are depicted playfully engaging with an abundance of fruit, a theme that resonates with the period's fascination with classical antiquity and its allegorical use of imagery. The putti's actions are not merely decorative but are often interpreted as symbolizing love, fertility, and the bounties of nature.

The exact date of the fresco's creation is uncertain, but it is believed to have been painted during Polidoro's Roman period, which lasted from approximately 1515 to 1527, when he worked alongside artists like Raphael. The work is noted for its dynamic composition, fluid lines, and the sense of movement conveyed by the frolicking figures. The use of fruit as a central element in the fresco aligns with the Renaissance tradition of still life and the inclusion of symbolic objects within narrative scenes.

"Putti desporting with fruit" exemplifies Polidoro da Caravaggio's skill in integrating classical themes with the emerging Mannerist style, which emphasized complexity and virtuosity over the balanced harmony of the High Renaissance. The fresco is a testament to Polidoro's ability to infuse his works with both playful themes and serious artistic innovation. As with many of his frescoes, this work would have been influential in disseminating the Roman style throughout Italy and beyond, particularly after Polidoro's move to Sicily in 1527 following the Sack of Rome.

Today, the fresco is considered an important piece within Polidoro da Caravaggio's oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of the transitional period between the High Renaissance and Mannerism. It remains a subject of study for art historians interested in the period's iconography, the evolution of fresco techniques, and the broader cultural context of the Italian Renaissance.
