Allegory of Youth by Domenica Piola is a painting that can be easily categorized as a Baroque piece with a quick glance. Its appearance can be compared to the works by Gentileschi or Caravaggio that were discussed in class because they too conveyed a meaning behind what was initially shown.

This painting, while never finished, is…
