Portrait of Fra Girolamo Savonarola, n.d., by #PlautillaNelli (Italian, 1524-88). Held by Robert Simon Fine Art; source, issuu.com/robertsimon5... #artherstory #womenartists #nuntastic #SuorPlautillaNelli

A roughly half-length painting depicting a white skinned, unsmiling man with an aquiline nose and a light 5-o'clock shadow standing sideways against an olive-green background. He faces the left edge of the artwork, resting his left hand on the top of a wooden support (pulpit? chair?) in front of him. His right elbow is bent, and he points upward with his right forefinger while his other right fingers curl into his right palm. He wears a long-sleeved white robe with gold flocking (the shape kind of resembles little flares); his head, neck and back are covered with a dark cloak that also has gold flocking. At the back of his head is a gold disk with radiating gold wavy lines that kind of mirror the lines of the flares that decorate his clothing.

Our Lady of Sorrows / Pained Madonna, 1550s, by #PlautillaNelli (Italian, 1524-88). Held by the Museum of the Last Supper of Andrea del Sarto; source, artherstory.net/plautilla-ne... #OurLadyOfSorrows #FeastOfOurLadyOfSorrows #artherstory #womenartists #nuntastic

A painting of a bust length Madonna, bowing her head (covered with a long gold cloth) toward the left edge of the painting. She wears a somber colored robe over a white undergarment. Her hands are crossed over her breast, right hand over left. In her left hand she clutches a white cloth. At the bottom left of the painting, on a stone ledge, sits a gold chalice filled with red liquid. Next to it are instruments of Christ's Passion, and blood stains. On the edge of the ledge, at the very bottom of the painting, is this inscription in all capital letters: “Non vi si pensa quanto sangue costa” ("No one thinks of how much blood it costs").
