Amazingly enough, Magdalena Ventura is not the only painting of The Bearded Woman from the Baroque period. Ribera's compatriot Juan Sánchez Cotán (most famous for his still-lifes), also tried his hand at this unlikely subject. La Barbuda de Peñarando is the portrait of The Bearded Brígada del Río who allegedly visited the court in Madrid in the 1590s. Seventeenth century prints of bearded ladies also abounded in England. This sudden, unusual interest in hirsutism (a serious hormonal disorder which causes excessive hair growth in women, amongst other problems) was nothing out of the ordinary for the Baroque. This artists and collectors of the period seem to have been virtually obsessed with the freakish, grotesque and bizarre: paintings of dwarves, buffoons, gluttons, and general immoral behavior and debauchery abound. This love for the strange was apparently of a particularly dark strain in the Spanish artists: Ribera's paintings in particular were filled with abnormal personages, dark themes and sinister activities.

MWW Artwork of the Day (11/29/24) Claudio Bravo (Chilean, 1936-2011) Still Life (1982) Oil on canvas, 81 x 100 cm. Private Collection

Bravo's ability to depict complex objects and shapes is reminiscent of Velázquez. His interest in Renaissance and Baroque works came from his many visits to the Museo del Prado in Madrid where he admired paintings done by old Spanish and Italian masters. Specifically he was inspired by Diego Velázquez for his light effects, Francisco de Zurbarán’s cloth studies, Juan Sánchez Cotán’s still lifes, Juan van der Hamen who popularized still life painting in Madrid, and Luis Egidio Meléndez who had great technical skill in using light to depict texture.

Juan Sánchez Cotán, Brigida del Rio la barbuda de Peñaranda, 1590, Prado, Madrid. Inscription reads: Brigida del Río of Peñaranda aged fifty.

The portrait of "Brigida del Rio, La Barbuda de Peñaranda" (Brigida del Rio, the bearded woman from Peñaranda) (Fig. 1) is listed among the paintings of Juan Sánchez Cotán (1560-1627), a Spanish Baroque painter, pioneer of realism in Spain. The inscription in the upper left corner of the canvas attests that the sitter was Brígida del Río, a popular figure in the late sixteenth century. Proof of her fame is its mention in several literary works and the creation of multiple renderings of the woman. It is one of several portraits of bearded women that have circulated in Spain. Some of them, such as the portrait of "La Muyer Barbuda" of De Ribera have reached us, and others are only known for their documentary references. Often, bearded women were included in the extensive catalog of dwarfs, buffoons and men of pleasure. [x]
