This painting depicts the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders, a traditional reading for the 5th Monday of Lent. At the left, a dark haired white woman in a state of undress (as she prepares for her bath)sits on a stone bench. At the right, behind the back of the bench, are two fully clothed white men. The first man, in a red tunic, has a bald head and white mustache and beard. He raises his right hand to his lops in a gesture for silence. The other man has dark hair that is becoming scanty on top. The woman leans away from the two men; her left hand is raised as though to hold them off, and her right hand grips the edge of the bench as she leans back, away from them.

#ArtemisiaGentileschi. Pintora destacada del Barroco italiano. 1ª mujer aceptada en la prestigiosa Academia de BB.AA. de Florencia. Su representación de Judith y Holofernes se interpreta como respuesta a la violación que sufrió por su maestro, Agostino Tassi, y al proceso humillante que le siguió.

A painting that depicts the biblical story of Christ talking with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well in Sychar At the right is Christ, in a red tunic and blue cloak, his hands raised expressively as he speaks to the woman, who sits across the well at the left edge of the painting. She wears a gold dress and white blouse. She props the side of her head on her left hand; her left elbow rests on some object that sits on top of the well. Her right elbow is bent and her right forearm crosses over her body such that her right hand touches her left arm just above the elbow. She leans forward, towards Jesus, in an active listening pose; their heads are at the same level. The leaves of a tree are visible above the woman's head in the top left corner. Above Jesus' head in the top right corner is Jerusalem in the distance - a city on a hill. Below the city, above Christ's left shoulder, is a just barely discernable group of disciples.

Artemisia Gentileschi #artemisiagentileschi

An allegorical figure, painted at about half length in murky tones of brown and green, with brown hair pulled up in a bun. She gazes upward at her uplifted left hand, in which is held a tool that is cut off by the corner of the artwork. Her right hand holds a stylus or similar implement; it rests on a globe next to the corner of a table on which there is a celestial map and an hour glass.

Neither saint nor sinner, Artemisia Gentileschi’s Mary Magdalene is electrifyingly alive Soon to go on display at the National Gallery of Art in DC, it took a female artist to portray the biblical figure not as shamed and repentant but in the throes of ecstatic rapture

Artemisia Gentileschi #artemisiagentileschi

An oil painting depicting the Adoration of the Magi scene. At left is Mary seated and holding the baby out in front of her. A bearded man wearing elegant clothing kneels on the ground with his right hand lifted to cup the baby's right foot. Behind him stands another richly dressed man wearing a gold crown, with his right hand at his chest, leaning or bowing toward the baby. Behind the standing king is at least one other (far less distinctly depicted) human figure, perhaps an attendant. Behind Mary is a man, perhaps the third king, with his left arm resting on a ledge, also gazing down at the baby.

A half-length portrait of a woman, turned sideways to face the left edge of the painting, wearing an aubergine-colored gown, olive-green cloak, and gold scarf. Her red hair is pulled back from her forehead. Her elbows are bent so that her hands are in front of her chest. In her right hand she grasps a long thin martyr's palm. In her left she holds the base of a small tazza on which sit two human eyes, which are one of St. Lucy's attributes.

The judicial proceedings disgraced Artemisia, as Tassi was convicted of the crime but released less than a year later. The figure of Judith, in fact, may be Artemisia's self portrait, providing a pictorial justice which tragically escaped her in real life. #ArtemisiaGentileschi
