As it is an allegory, the image is open to interpretation. What is yours?About the artist: “Born in Bologna in 1532, Orazio Samacchini's first recorded independent work was a Last Supper painted in 1560 for the church of San Francesco in his native city. He went on to become, along with Prospero Fontana and Lorenzo Sabatini, one of the leading exponents of Bolognese Mannerism. Having completed his training, most probably under Pellegrino Tibaldi, Samacchini made a trip early in his career to Rome. Payments to the artist there are recorded in 1563 and 1564 for his work, together with Taddeo Zuccaro, on the Sala Regia in the Apostolic Palace and the Vatican Belvedere, both for Pope Pius IV. This formative experience in the papal city stayed with the artist on his return to Bologna, with his works retaining a sense of Roman Mannerism. He went on to carry out commissions not only in his native city but also for the Duomo in Parma and Sant'Abbondio in Cremona – from biographical notes published by Bonham's, London
