XVII Century
About the Item
This precious pair of paintings represents two allegories with symbolic charm and compositional finesse, executed by 17th-century Bergamasque artist.
The allegory of Astronomy is accompanied by the cartouche "Mensurabiles posuisti dies meos," a reference to the miserable and finite nature of time, interweaving science and philosophy.
Instead, the allegory of Painting bears the inscription "In immagine pertransit homo," evoking the transcendence and fragility of human experience through art.
The canvases, embellished by the coeval frames, have important dimensions and a pictorial quality that enhances the luministic research and symbolic detail typical of seventeenth-century painting.
These works, steeped in classical allegories and intellectual suggestions, are an ideal addition for collectors looking for pieces that combine history, art, and philosophical reflection.
