EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Head of an Old Woman Looking to Lower Right (Saint Elizabeth)" by Federico Fiori Barocci. Created between 1584-86, this oil on paper masterpiece measures 39.1x27.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The painting serves as a preparatory study for the figure of Saint Elizabeth, featured in the Visitation altarpiece for the Church of Santa Maria in Vallicella, also known as "Chiesa Nuova" located in Rome. Barocci's attention to detail and his mastery of capturing human expressions are evident in this remarkable piece. With a focus on religious themes, this work embodies elements from Christian biblical narratives. The serene yet weathered face of Saint Elizabeth invites viewers into her world, evoking a sense of contemplation and spirituality. Barocci's contribution to Italian Renaissance art is undeniable, with his meticulous sketches and paintings reflecting both technical skill and deep devotion to Christianity. This particular piece exemplifies his ability to breathe life into biblical characters through subtle brushstrokes and delicate shading. As we admire this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded not only of Barocci's artistic brilliance but also of the enduring power that religious imagery holds within our cultural heritage.
