The woman represented by figurative expressions that variously interpret her within western culture permeated by myth, the bible, the gospel.

A journey made up of different places that dialogue to unite centuries of history through the iconographic representations of Eve, Mary, Mary Magdalene, Catherine. Which are joined by Bathsheba, Dalila, Leda, Medea, Penelope, representing a figurative journey oscillating between history, myth, allegories, symbols, spirituality.

The Museo della Battaglia e di Anghiari presents for the first time a part of the vast Bagnobianchi collection with graphic works ranging from experiences in the German area, with the creation of Eva by Michael Wohlgemuth (Nuremberg 1434-1519) in one of the most emblematic expressions of northern European tradition, which contrasts with the precious sheet with Adam and Eve by Albrecht Dürer himself (Nuremberg 1471 - 1528) and the full-bodied figures of the Sea Monster by the same author. An itinerary of 18 works that ends with the famous Hasta la muerte by Francisco de Goya (Fuendetodos, 1746-Bourdeaux, 1828), with the Olympia by Eduard Manet (Paris, 1832-1883), or with the Penelope by Max Klinger (Leipzig, 1857-Grossjena, 1920), passing from a rare sheet containing Leda and the swan in a landscape, from the lost work of Michelangelo Buonarroti.

The itinerary in the museum continues with a small panel representing the Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine, considered a copy of Correggio's famous subject. In this process, it is a prelude to the ways of seventeenth-century representation in the penitent Magdalene, already considered for a long time to be in the manner of Cristofano Allori, but which today, finally, finds its attribution to Francesco Morosini with a brilliant study. The penitent Magdalene, the subject of a recent restoration supported by SAVAS through the Lions Foundation and the Lions section of the Valtiberina, represents a real discovery after the cleaning of the varnishes which obscured its sign and partly concealed the author's signature.
