(53 x 39 cm), Paintings, Orazio Borgianni (Italian, Rome 1578–1616 Rome), 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.
