Description: | At some point in this painting's history, it was brought together with its current pendant (BIKGM:4172). Whether at this point or at a later time, both works were attributed to the seventeenth-century Italian artist Guido Reni. Reni did paint related compositions of women such as Sibyls, who wear grand turbans and hold writing implements. The painter, probably Italian, may well have had Reni's paintings in mind, but the colours of the work suggest it was produced at a later date. The woman's pose fits the concept of poetry in the way she stares out of the painting as if divinely inspired. | Subjects: | allegory (poetry); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Bolognese) School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Reni, Guido (Italian painter and draftsman, 1575-1642) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8316... | Go to resource |
