A putto (plural putti) is a figure of a human baby or toddler, almost always male, often naked and having wings, found especially in Italian Renaissance and Baroque art. They erroneously called cherubs. Putti are distinct from cherubim, but some English-speakers confuse them with each other, except that in the plural, "the Cherubim" refers to the biblical angels, while "cherubs" is used more often to refer to the child-like representations (putti) or in figurative senses.
Below is a description of the cherubim from the bible (Ezekiel 1:5-12)
5and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man,6 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze.8 Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.

It inspired them to sacrifice themselves for one another. It is also applied to religious love. For many people this is the highest form of love they will feel.
Eros is passionate love, but it is not limited to sexual passion. Eros is touched by the beauty within, which creates a longing. It is the force which inspires not only lovers, but philosophy as well. It is this love that envelopes you, and fills you with euphoria.
