Literally translated as “repentance,” Pentimento has a double meaning, referring both to the confession of sins and the repainting of an image over time. As a painting ages and pigments thin, the ghostly trace of earlier marks show through, confessing the misplaced lines and wavering hand of the artist. Composed in bands of dark and light, these cotton sateen stripes exist as though layered in succession — precise yet concealing repentant revisions under the finished surface.
