The painting I have selected is titled Studio of Lavinia Fontana by Lavinia Fontana. This painting depicts a woman playing the piano, but looking directly at the viewer. Symbolically, this was a significant piece of art because it shows the emergence of female artists in a previously male dominated field. Her studio and self portraits show the growing visibility of women in public, religious, and commissioned art. I like the symbolism present in her art and I want to further continue this idea. I also want to do an abstract, flowy pattern with circular and oval shapes.
