My Take
Juana Romani fascinates me because she crossed a line most people of her era never could: she went from being the painted to being the painter. Born Carolina Carlesimo in Velletri, Italy, she remade herself in Paris, first as an artists' model and then as a portraitist in her own right. That reversal of the gaze, from object to author, is exactly the kind of quiet defiance I admire. Her Salomé hints at an artist drawn to women who hold both allure and danger. A century after her death, I am glad to dust off a name that the canon too easily lets slip.
