Collezioni Comunali d'Arte - Circe

Circe, the sorceress famed for transforming men into beasts, stands amidst her victims. Her nude form, bathed in light, contrasts with the shadowy surroundings. She appears as a young maiden, her gaze innocent, almost fearful, looking out from the canvas. Animals crowd around her, while a skull, a broken statue, and an open volume of incantations on the right evoke the mysterious power of magic.
