• Master Sofonisba Anguissola

  In honor of Sofonisba’s newly recognized accomplishments and the Prado exhibition of her work, I would like to present her Boy Bitten (drawn for Michelangelo) and her Girl Laughing next to each other to accentuate Sofonisba’s effort. She conceived of these close in time and the figures and positioning show how she experimented with subtle…

• “La Dama del Armino Ni del Greco Ni de Sofonisba Anguissola; su Autor Es Sanchez Coello”

  “La Dama del Armino Ni del Greco Ni de Sofonisba Anguissola; su Autor Es Sanchez Coello” read the headlines in Madrid, on October 22, 2019, the day of the Grand Opening of the Sofonisba exhibit (along with Lavinia Fontana) at the Prado Museum.  To me, it felt like heresy.

• ANTICIPATING SOFONISBA’S EXHIBIT AT THE PRADO MUSEUM OPENING OCTOBER 22 IN MADRID.

  

  I’m eager to return to the Prado Museum in Madrid in a few weeks for a close up inspection of Sofonisba’s Portrait of Philip II which I last viewed in storage in 2009 with the kind permission of Leticia Ruiz, curator of the upcoming exhibit. I originally met Dr. Ruiz through my association with Maria Kusche at Progetto…
