About the Item

Colonial school. Oil on copper mounted on a stretcher. Each copper panel features a different allegory. One depicts the allegory of Asia, represented by a woman seated on a camel — one of the continent’s most emblematic animals. The other shows the allegory of astrology, with a woman portrayed sitting on a planet and holding a wand. These elements together symbolize the essence of this discipline, which merges celestial observation with symbolic interpretation.
