Yes, they are mentioned. In Christian mythology, they are the second choir of angels in the hierarchy (preceeding the Seraphim). They are typically associated as being innocent, pure, and childlike in art and literature and are known to always smile in reverence to God. This is a misconception, as this is the common depiction of the putti due to their religious association with God's omnipresence and gained the name "cherub" in history. I believe the depiction of the cherub is supposed to be a winged angel with parts of a lion and eagle but I am not sure.
