EXIT

Flemish Baroque Painting, Limited Edition (7/50)

Late Baroque portraitist Jacob Ferdinand Voet painted nobility of the Church and secular world. At one point residing in Rome, Voet had to leave when the aptly-named Pope Innocent the XI felt his depictions of young women featured necklines far too low for a Christian viewer. This canvas was painted after that unexpected move, showing perhaps altered tastes or prudential censorship. Mixed-Media painting. c.2014.
