Simone in progress. Cesare Gennari Alegoría de la Pintura. (Merging with Old Masters. Series.).

Portrait of Simone Geerligs. Watercolour on 300gr. 21x29.7 cm. Canson Paper.

As inspiration for my portrait of Simone, I discovered a portrait of the enigmatic Cesare Gennari called "Alegoría de la Pintura" .It´s an Oil on canvas. 119 x 98 cm. in Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Roma.

I haven´t found this painting in flickr, even there are some works of this mysterious painter from the XVII century.

I have long wanted to paint an Allegory of Painting. That was an issue during the Baroque painting.Simone Geerligs has been perfect for this purpose.
