About the piece
Created around 1636, this striking work by Bernardo Strozzi demonstrates the artist's mature style, blending Venetian color with Genoese intensity. The figure—likely an allegory of Fortitude or Victory—is rendered with a rich, painterly touch, her vibrant red robes providing a bold counterpoint to the cold, metallic sheen of the surrounding armor.
