Abraham Janssens (1573-1632) is considered to be among the most eminent and significant authors of Flemish painting at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as one of the most important authors on the early European Baroque scene. During his life he travelled to Italy, mainly in Rome where his painting was impacted by Italian artists. He is mostly known for his large religious and mythological works, which show the influence of Caravaggio. He was a very prolific painter, with an active workshop in Antwerp.
The work, The Gypsy, can be part of a series of compositions depicted by Janssens between the second and third decade of the 17th century, variously dedicated to female figures often linked to mythological or astrological-occult themes. These female figures are personifications of virtues (or, more often, vices), allegories that can be interpreted in various senses and personifications of zodiac signs and astral terns. The canvas features a woman caught in the act of drinking wine and eating food. The veil on her head, similar to the one with which Circe is often depicted, alludes to the fact that she is an occult worker, who, according to an ancient European folk tradition, is the Gypsy par excellence. The painting is an important testimony to the spread of a theme and a culture that devoted great attention to the universe of magic and the theme of destiny.

It is a gentle and graceful Danae the one portrayed by Giovanni Giacomo Sementi. A painting in which the Milanese painter Pier Francesco Cittadini also collaborated by painting the golden basin filled with flowers to the left of the scene. The work shows various pictorial influences; from the Bolognese Emilian style, to that of Ludovico Carracci (1555 - 1619) and Guido Reni (1575 - 1642), to the Baroque and Roman style. The work features an elegant red drapery which serves as the background to the entire scene, but the real protagonist is the young woman with long red hair who is lying on a bed covered by a white sheet. The girl is naked except for a lapis lazuli blue mantle...
