If you want to know the actual difference between the three when it comes to art and architecture, it's quite simple. A putto is a male winged baby figure which is usually up to mischief of some kind. In contrast, a cupid is a putto armed with arrows (of love), while a cherub is a putto used in a religious context.
As it's St Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share this cheeky little cupid climbing a keystone above the entrance to 215 High Street in Glasgow to take potshots at the people passing below. I know he's really a putto, but putti, cupids, and indeed cherubs, are used pretty much interchangeably in popular culture.

Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 
"You goddess [Venus-Aphrodite], born of the cruel sea, who art called mother of both Cupides [ #Eros and #Anteros], that wanton, smiling boy of thine, reckless alike with torches and with arrows, with how sure bow doth he aim his shafts!"
Seneca, Phaedra 274

Work Interrupted (1891) by French painter William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905). Bouguereau's strict adherence to a realistic, classical style gained him widespread acclaim in France and the United States while the Impressionist painters struggled to establish a different approach. The luminous color and delicate, almost invisible brush strokes are hallmarks of Bouguereau's work.
