GIOVANNI DOMENICO CERRINI DIT CAVALIER PERUGINO (cercle de) La magicienne Circé Huile sur toile, 145x103 cm Le tableau est stylistiquement proche de la production de la seconde moitié du XVIIe siècle du peintre Gian Domenico Cerrini dit le Cavalier Pérugin, auquel se réfère la présentation sensuelle de la sorcière à la peau très pâle. Il convient de noter la manière érotiquement espiègle dont Cerrini traite le thème et la façon dont il rend efficacement le caractère sournois et malicieux du personnage homérique.
