Allegory of a thesis, two women hold inscribed tablets
Bartolomeo Coriolano Italian
After Guido Reni Italian
Not on view
This graphically powerful woodcut is the product of Reni and Coriolano’s collaborative explorations of chiaroscuro printing in Bologna in the 1630s. The print’s largely indecipherable iconography illustrates how enigmatic thesis print images can be when separated from their original accompanying texts. Two women surrounded by books hold inscribed tablets that together make the phrase "All is the same that harms the innocent."
