Fotoreproductie van een prent naar de Perzische Sibille door Guercino 1865 - 1900

This photographic reproduction of a print depicting the Persian Sibyl by the Italian Baroque painter Guercino was likely made sometime between 1865 and 1900. The artwork is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and depicts a woman in a turban and robe sitting at a table, writing on a book. The subject of the painting was a popular one in Renaissance and Baroque art, and was often used to represent the power of prophecy and the divine. The work is a testament to the enduring popularity of the Sibyl and her story, even centuries after her death. This photographic reproduction is likely from the 19th century when the art of photography was becoming increasingly popular and affordable. It is an example of the reproduction of artwork from the past, and is a window into art history for the modern viewer.
