"Tidal Pool" by Robyn Asquini, Original Oil Painting, Female Portrait

2023

About the Item

Robin Asquini's "Tidal Pool" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a portrait of a female with large green swirls surrounding and shaping her figure. Robyn Asquini (b. 1988) creates oil paintings combining the techniques and materials of European masters with contemporary feminist perspectives and subjects. The aim of her work is to create emotionally direct images, focusing on the human form. Her recent paintings integrate abstract brush strokes with realistic rendering of the figure, weaving together both the inner and outer worlds of her subjects. Robyn was born in Montreal, Canada and currently lives and works in Toronto, Canada. She studied illustration at Sheridan College and art and design at Parsons the New School. While working as a commercial artist and art director, she completed the classical drawing and painting program at the Academy of Realist Art and now works full-time as a fine artist. Recently, Robyn received The BoldBrush Award for Abstract (August 2023), was awarded Honourable Mentions from both the Society of Canadian Artists and Federation of Canadian Artists in 2023, was selected as a Finalist in the 2022 Art Renewal Center Salon competition, and received a Certificate of Achievement from the Canadian Portrait Society in 2022 and 2021. In September, she participated in two New York group shows—the Salmagundi Club’s Open New York Figurative Exhibition and The Dacia Gallery 13th Anniversary Group Exhibit. In October, she attended the Pouch Cove Foundation Residency Program.

Julius Kronberg’s Angelica – A Romantic Heroine of Renaissance Legend
Located in Stockholm, SE
Literary Origins of Angelica The subject of this painting is Angelica, a princess from the epic chivalric romances of the Italian Renaissance. She first appears in Matteo Maria Boiardo’s Orlando Innamorato (1483) and reappears famously in Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso (1532). In these poems – part of the Matter of France cycle of Charlemagne and his paladins – Angelica’s extraordinary beauty ensnares many knights, including Orlando (Roland) and his cousin Rinaldo, sparking rivalries and adventures. Ariosto’s narrative particularly highlights Angelica’s tumultuous journey: at one point she is stripped and chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster (a scene mirroring the myth of Andromeda) before being dramatically rescued by the valiant knight Ruggiero on his winged horse. Ultimately, however, Angelica chooses her own destiny. She falls in love with a humble Saracen soldier, Medoro, whom she nurses back to health, and she returns with him to her far-off Asian kingdom – an affair that drives the heartbroken Orlando to madness. This independent resolution (marrying outside the circle of Christian knights) made Angelica an emblem of feminine agency and romantic idealism in Renaissance literature. Her story remained popular in art and literature through the centuries, symbolizing the allure and elusiveness of love. Kronberg’s Portrayal and Composition In Julius Kronberg...
