Continuing the story of Artemisia Gentileschi (Roma, 1593-1656). She became a "master" (mistress?) of Tenebrism, Naturalism, and Fresco painting. Original perspective and great passion in her painting are some of her characteristics. One of her teachers raped her, when she denounced him to the authorities, she was questioned to the point of braking some of her fingers in the process, quite typical in those times. At 22 years old she painted: "Allegoria dell'inclinazione", representing a naked woman holding a compass, symbolic of an artist's natural talent, and how it's necessary to orient the talent to the right path, without falling in despair when difficulties arise. More tomorrow on Artemisia Gentileschi!
Continuando con la historia de Artemisia Gentileschi. Llego a dominar el Tenebrismo, Naturalismo, y Fresco. Sus caracteristicas principales son una perspectiva original y la gran pasion reflejada en sus pinturas. Uno de sus maestros la violo, y cuando ella lo denuncio a las autoridades, la cuestionaron de tal manera, que hasta le quebraron algunos dedos en el proceso, bastante tipico de la epoca. A los 22 anos pinto "Allegoria dell'Inclinazione", representando a una mujer desnuda sosteniendo una brujula, simbolizando al talento natural de algunas personas, y como es necesario orientarlo hacia el camino correcto, sin dejarse abatir por las dificultades. Mas sobre Artemisa Gentileschi manana!
