"Putto with Dolphin" is a renowned sculpture created by the Italian artist Andrea del Verrocchio in the late 15th century. This bronze work of art, crafted around 1470, is celebrated for its playful representation of a cherubic figure, or putto, holding a dolphin, which has been interpreted as an allegory for the relationship between mankind and nature. The sculpture was originally commissioned for a fountain in the Medici Villa at Careggi, near Florence, Italy, reflecting the Renaissance interest in classical antiquity and the incorporation of art into daily life through functional objects like fountains.

The putto, a common motif in Renaissance art, symbolizes love and is often associated with the figure of Cupid or Eros in classical mythology. In "Putto with Dolphin," Verrocchio's mastery in bronze casting is evident in the fluidity of the forms and the detailed rendering of textures, from the soft flesh of the child to the sleek skin of the dolphin. The work exhibits a dynamic sense of movement, with the dolphin's arched body and the putto's twisted pose suggesting a spiraling motion that would have been accentuated by the flow of water in its original fountain setting.

Standing at a modest height of 137 cm, the sculpture is now housed in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy, and remains an important example of Verrocchio's influence on the art of the Renaissance. As the teacher of Leonardo da Vinci, Verrocchio played a significant role in the development of Renaissance art, and "Putto with Dolphin" exemplifies the innovative approach to form, composition, and the expression of human and animal figures that characterized his work. The sculpture continues to be admired for its technical excellence and its embodiment of the playful and harmonious spirit of the Renaissance.
