Putto Comes Home to Leuven

M-Museum Leuven has brought back to Leuven an alabaster putto by Cornelis Floris II (1513-1575) after 221 years. The statue once decorated the Sacrament tower in the Celestine Monastery in Heverlee. It was accompanied by a similar putto that now is part of the City of Leuven’s collection. The present putto was acquired at TEFAF in Maastricht in March 2017.
