Allegorical Figure

Artist: Bernardo Strozzi (Italian, 1581?-1644)

Date: c. 1636

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio, United States

Description

During the 1630s, the Genoese artist Bernardo Strozzi painted a number of female figures representing various intellectual and artistic pursuits, reflecting the appeal of such allegories among learned patrons in northern Italy. Recent scholarship has convincingly identified the subject of this painting as Minerva. The Roman goddess of war has put aside her armor for more contemplative pursuits; her upward gaze - as if seeking inspiration - recalls her other associations with wisdom, eloquence, and the arts.

1631 Giovan Donato Correggio in Veste di Perseo - Bernardo Strozzi

This mythologized portrait of a Venetian merchant seems to base its composition on a painting of David with the head of Goliath painted by Simon Vouet in 1621, while the iconography of the Gorgon head on a shield is more characteristic of antique roman art than the usual 17th century depictions

OLD COQUETTE | c. 1637 | by BERNARDO STROZZI

The painting shows an old woman, who is probably a courtesan or a mistress— she adorns herself with jewelry and make-up. This is the kind of subject matter that is typical in the vanitas, a genre that portrays the fleetingness of earthly pleasures and the inescapable death.

This composition features a close-up view of the woman's face and upper body as well. It's hard to ignore the emphasis on her ornate jewelry and makeup. Despite her age, she retains a sense of coquettishness, all of which implies a desire to hold onto her youthfulness. 

Symbolism is a key element in this piece, with the woman's aged face and the presence of a mirror serving as reminders of the transience nature of beauty and the inevitability of aging and death.

The contrast between the woman's aged face and the vibrant colors of her attire and her surrounding element emphasize the theme of impermanence,—highlighting hugely the contrast between youth and aging.

Strozzi's composition creates a very dramatic sense of depth surrounding the central figure, accomplished by the use of light and shadow. The woman's stare directly engages the viewer and invites them to reflect and ponder the deeper meaning of the painting.
