About the piece

Attributed to the Florentine master Francesco Furini, this 1630 work captures the mythological figure of Artemisia in a moment of somber devotion. The painting is a superb example of Italian Baroque chiaroscuro, where delicate skin tones emerge from deep, atmospheric shadows to create a powerful sense of presence and emotional depth.
