OLD COQUETTE | c. 1637 | by BERNARDO STROZZI
The painting shows an old woman, who is probably a courtesan or a mistress— she adorns herself with jewelry and make-up. This is the kind of subject matter that is typical in the vanitas, a genre that portrays the fleetingness of earthly pleasures and the inescapable death.
This composition features a close-up view of the woman's face and upper body as well. It's hard to ignore the emphasis on her ornate jewelry and makeup. Despite her age, she retains a sense of coquettishness, all of which implies a desire to hold onto her youthfulness. 
Symbolism is a key element in this piece, with the woman's aged face and the presence of a mirror serving as reminders of the transience nature of beauty and the inevitability of aging and death.
The contrast between the woman's aged face and the vibrant colors of her attire and her surrounding element emphasize the theme of impermanence,—highlighting hugely the contrast between youth and aging.
Strozzi's composition creates a very dramatic sense of depth surrounding the central figure, accomplished by the use of light and shadow. The woman's stare directly engages the viewer and invites them to reflect and ponder the deeper meaning of the painting.

SENSI DELL'ARTE - di Gianpiero Menniti
LA PRIMA SCIENZA
"Flatus vocis" perso in una terra desolata. Qual è dunque l'origine del mito? L'essere umano e le sue domande: la coscienza infelice evocata nelle pagine di Hegel. Ogni quesito, un abisso. Lascito per chi verrà: la catena delle generazioni che fonderà il pensiero scientifico. Ma l'uomo, in attesa, forma la traccia: l'istanza muta in racconto. Giace. Come soffio del tempo. Fu scienza, con i mezzi possibili. Oggi, noi che siamo chiamati testimoni, sorridiamo. Stolti. Inconsapevoli della profondità dell'atto narrativo: struggente consapevolezza di mondi silenziosi evocati in immagini destinate al futuro. Il senso di essere stati diventa dono: fissa il punto per custodire la domanda dell'inizio. La scienza nasce lì. "Scienza dell'esperienza della coscienza": questo il titolo originario della più conosciuta opera di Hegel, la "Fenomenologia dello spirito". Così, nella riflessione del filosofo di Stoccarda, tutto divenne chiaro. Ma il concetto si perde: la potenza della parola corre verso il buio. Al contrario, la figura, silenziosa quanto l'essenza del suo oggetto, illumina e riscopre. L'arte è carne viva sulla quale rimane impressa la ferita dell'origine.
