EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait of Zaga Christ (ß╣óagga KrÃØstos)" by Giovanna Garzoni, a renowned artist from the 17th century. Measuring at just 5.7--4.8 cm, this watercolor and bodycolor masterpiece is delicately mounted on vellum and card. Displayed at the Allen Memorial Art Museum in Oberlin College, Ohio, USA, this artwork truly captivates viewers with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The oval-shaped portrait is framed in a silver frame that dates back to a later period. The subject of the painting is Zaga Christ (ß╣óagga KrÃØstos), an African man hailing from Ethiopia or Abyssinia. Dressed in elegant summer clothes adorned with lace collars, he exudes regality and grace. This portrayal not only highlights his individuality but also represents Christianity as it was practiced in Africa during that era. Garzoni's skillful brushwork brings out every nuance of Zaga Christ's features, emphasizing his masculinity and nobility. The Italian flag depicted within the artwork symbolizes Italy's influence on European culture during that time. This miniature painting offers a glimpse into 17th-century fashion trends while showcasing the intersection between artistry and religion. It serves as a testament to Garzoni's talent for capturing both physical likeness and emotional depth. As you admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let yourself be transported to another time when portraiture was revered for its ability to immortalize individuals through paintbrush strokes on fabric canvas.
