In the context of art history, pentimento refers to a change that an artist made to a painting or drawing during the creative process. These changes can be made by overpainting, scraping away, or adding paint. Pentimenti give us insight into the artist’s creative process and show us how their ideas and concepts developed over the course of the work.

Examples of pentimenti:

In Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, beneath the present face of the Mona Lisa you can see the remnants of an earlier facial design.
In Michelangelo’s painting “The Creation of Adam,” you can discern the outlines of an originally planned different pose for God.
Pentimenti are therefore not only a sign of the artist’s imperfection, but also of their willingness to experiment and their desire to constantly improve their work.

Further meanings of pentimento:

In literature, pentimento can describe a change of heart or a course correction by a character.
In psychology, pentimento can be a feeling of remorse or regret over a past action.
In summary, pentimento is a many-layered word with a long history. It can have various meanings, but at its core it is always about remorse, change, and a new beginning.
