EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a portrait of Fortunino Matania's wife, Ellen Jane Goldsack, also known as Goldie, dressed in an exquisite Renaissance gown. The Italian artist, renowned for his meticulous attention to historical detail, expertly captured his wife's likeness in the rich and ornate attire of the 15th or 16th century. Goldie gracefully holds a prayer book in one hand, adding an air of piety and reverence to the image. Fortunino Matania's dedication to authenticity is evident in the sumptuous costume and intricate props used to recreate the historical period. The Renaissance dress, adorned with lush fabrics, intricate embroidery, and precious jewels, transports us back in time. Goldie's pearl necklace, shimmering against her elegant collar, adds a touch of opulence to the portrait. The artist's mastery of capturing the essence of a bygone era is a testament to his passion for history and art. This portrait, painted around 1955, is an excellent example of Matania's commitment to authenticity and his ability to transport his audience to another time and place. The image invites us to ponder the lives of the women of the Renaissance, their faith, and their grace, as we marvel at the beauty and intricacy of the costume and setting.
