COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
This painting with a graceful young woman in the centre, shows a frenzied eroticism. The density of the composition, with its balletic interplay of poses and gestures, is in the spirit of <a onclick="return OpenOther('/html/w/wtewael/sebastia.html')" href="/html/w/wtewael/sebastia.html">Joachim Wtewael,</a> Bloemaert's contemporary in Utrecht. The composition is an original invention inspired by an eclectic survey of recent Dutch Mannerist forms.
