The little-known Italian Baroque painter's approach bestowed an aura of dignified understanding usually reserved for the upper classes onto people who were down and out.

The unconventional 18th-century Italian Baroque painter Giacomo Ceruti , who is not well-known, is a strange amalgam of two usually separate artistic traditions.

A great portrait is as precise and unambiguous as possible in representing myriad physical, psychological and social characteristics of someone else — the particular person shown in the picture — and in bringing the unique combination of those attributes to life. A portrait might depict someone admirable or heinous, undistinguished or gallant, and it may be a person who generates feelings of empathy, awe or distrust. But it isn’t you, and that distinction is part of the point.

Whatever the scene, however, the people are rendered with authority and precision of a kind usually reserved for portraiture. Flinty sufferance emerges. A young girl holds out an alms bowl to beg for help from an equally poor woman engaged in spinning wool. The woman gazes out at us, bereft, as if to acknowledge that she represents the young girl’s future.
