Description

17TH-CENTURY GENOESE SCHOOL ‘Circe the Enchantress’ Very large oil on canvas Dimensions: 149 x 201 cm This work, attributed to the 17th-century Genoese school, depicts the enchantress Circe in a dramatic and lively composition, characteristic of the Baroque aesthetic, and features an elaborate and theatrical staging. Circe occupies the centre of the painting, surrounded by a procession of figures interacting with her. Adorned in a sumptuous gown in shades of red and blue, she appears on the verge of unleashing her powers. Around her, a staff and a sphere – possible allusions to cosmological or occult knowledge – serve to reinforce her status as a sorceress.
