the same artist.
1620-1625. Oil on camess
Veronica dried Christ’s face on the way to Calvary, and the impression remained on her cloth. Strozzi was a Capuchin friar and painted this work in his native city of Genoa before his permanent move to Venice in a632.
The painting entered the collection of Isabella Famese. wife of Philip V, as by Velázquez. by Bernardo Strozzi
c. 1602-3. Oil on panel
This scene, which Reni painted on other occasions between approximately 1596 and 1607, combines the subjects of the Assumption, Glorification and Coronation of the Virgin, the latter carried out by two angels. Other angels surround Mary, playing musical instruments in her honour and singing her praises. The physical types and earthy palette recall Reni’s master Annibale Carracci.
