Orazio Borgianni, 1610 - Head of an Old Woman - fine art print

General description as provided from the museum's website (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Among the most modern-seeming pictures of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are informal studies of heads in which the artist eschews portraiture in favor of exploring character and expression. In this striking depiction of an old woman lit by a merciless shaft of light, Borgianni seems to give us a meditation on old age and mortality. Orazio Borgianni was one of the most individual followers of Caravaggio.
