A poem in honor of a renaissance woman painter named Sofonisba Anguissola. I appreciate so much her great work.
In stillness of her spirit she sits there with all her prowess she manipulates. Her fingers’ ripples in coldest water replenish mind and soul that ruminates. Playing in nocturne, she’s being witnessed by her governess . The simplicity... Her portraits that adduce virtues she possessed - laconic and clear view of chastity. Oh, renaissance woman, you shine on top, as you incandesce in mind love of arts! You’re a czar bringing our decorum up- women’s pride… imbue modesty in heart. In the silence of our heart, we listen in these memorabilia… you remain.
