EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print, titled "Head study of a woman looking up" is a masterpiece by the renowned Italian artist Pietro da Cortona. Displayed in the esteemed State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, this artwork showcases the artist's exceptional talent and mastery of the Baroque style. The subject of this portrait is a female figure with an expression that exudes both despair and contemplation. Her eyes gaze upwards, as if seeking solace or inspiration from above. The intricate details captured by Cortona highlight his ability to convey emotion through facial expressions. The woman's elaborate hairstyle adds to her allure, showcasing the fashion trends prevalent during the 17th century in Italy. With every strand meticulously arranged, it reflects not only her personal style but also serves as an indication of societal norms at that time. Cortona's use of sanguine technique further enhances this piece, creating depth and texture within each stroke. This method was popular during the Baroque era for its ability to bring life-like qualities to portraits. As we admire this stunning head study, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever on canvas—a testament to Pietro da Cortona's artistic brilliance and his contribution to fine art images from the seventeenth century.
