Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Get to know the story of Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the most accomplished artists of the 17th century. The biblical story of the heroine Judith slaying the brutal Holofernes is featured in countless works of art, including the Sistine Chapel. But the most iconic depiction was painted by an artist who tackled this ambitious scene when she was just 19 years old. Her name was Artemisia Gentileschi. So who was Artemisia, and what sets her depiction apart from the rest? Allison Leigh investigates. Devilmaycry-: I ve never truly understood art, but I did enjoy how passionate one of my Uni s professor was about it.
That being said I know even in art, there are many different topics and materials to discuss. And this one just ain t for me. Too dark for my liking.
I hope that everyone else is enjoying the video

hello ted ed. please make a video on the horrors of martial law in the philippines. there's a lot of disinformation nowadays painting it as a golden era, i think it would be beneficial to have one of your great videos to support the facts about the tyranny of former president ferdinand marcos

that reminded me of the fact that Artemis was also a goddess of chastity and celibacy (as Artemisia herself was viciously violated) and her depiction on the bracelet on one wrist and a sword resembling a crucifix in her other hand make it so much more profoundly meaningful and powerful!

Agostino proposed to marry Artemisia to restore her honor but he didn't go through with it and then her father took him to court. While she was being tortured, Artemisia said that the thumbscrews were the wedding bands he promised her.

There's an anime series called Arte that shows her inspiring story beautifully
My favourite thing about that is it shows the drive, passion, work ethic and hunger she had to do this. Emphasizing the quote if you really really want something to happen, nothing can stop you

When I saw her painting at the Uffizi Gallery, I fell in love completely. Her painting of Judith beheading Holofernes was full of emotions and revenge. It appeals so well with the scheming nature of my life.

Wasnt there a painting of Artemesia, that was x-rayed and underneath was the original (much more graphic, but also much more human) painting? I might be mixing it up, but i remember something alike
reply

When I first found out about Artemisia, I thought to myself That's a weird name for a guy. When I saw her 1614 selfie: That's a very effeminate-looking man even for the Renaissance.
