Description : Allegoria dell'America

Oil on table. The work is inspired by a graphic representation of the New Continent widely spread in Europe, following the interest and curiosity aroused by the New World, which made the subject widely used in the artistic-literary productions of the \\\\\\\'500 and\\\\\\\' 600. The allegory of America was conceived as a naked female figure adorned with a feathered headdress and holding a spear. The work proposed here is very close in the compositional structure to a print created by Johannes I Sadeler (Brussel 1550-Venice 1600 ca.) which places, as in this work, the allegorical figure on the right of the scene, while on the left a river landscape with other female figures dressed in the same way. The work presented here has undergone restoration with parqueting of the table. It is presented in a stylish frame.
