PAIRING 3:
Giuseppe Cesare (called “Cavaliere d’Arpino”), The Annunciation, sanguine chalk on paper, 1597. (left)
Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (called “Guercino”), Study of a Woman with a Hand Held to Her Breast, brown ink and wash on laid paper, 1635. (right)
"The styles of these two works are quite similar, and the emotion the woman in the Guercino (right) shows almost leads one to believe she could be an observer of the event depicted in the work on the left."
