Origin of Cornucopia

 

Today’s sketch is another from Seattle Art Museum’s European gallery. This one is a Flemish Baroque painting by Abraham Janssens, the Origin of Cornucopia. Technically it’s a beautiful done piece but sometimes I have to wonder about just how many female models artists had access to in this period. I mean seriously has anybody noticed the number of nudes in Renaissance and Baroque art that look like post operation transsexuals?Origin of Cornucopia
