The "x-ray" picture is actually a project by Kathleen Gilje.

And that's why the female Ninja Turtle should have been named Artemisia.

If you're ever in Detroit, check out the Detroit Institute of Art. They have Judith Beheading Holofernes by Artemisia.

You think they chose thumbscrews specifically to fuck up her ability to paint? Seems like a thing they might do.

Anyone know where in the book of Daniel or in what book of the Bible the first story takes place?

The Book of Daniel, Chapter 13.

It's included in what Protestants call the Apocrypha. It's not included in the canon of Scripture, but Catholics and Eastern Orthodox use it

Ummm what? They were literally contemporaries and are both associated with the baroque movement (her and her father even more directly/*c*

Seems like it doesn't accurately depict her rape by Tassi.

It didn’t. It portrayed them as having a consensual affair & her father suing the rapist to force a marriage.

Friendly reminder that the first painting on the right is an independent piece by Kathleen Gilje and not the restored original 'in x-ray'

6 years ago | Likes 77 Dislikes 1

Each time I read this story I learn it anew along with the Gilje part.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If you watch the video she shows you the underpainting - how it’s absorbed some of the upper pigment, so it’s not JUST a unique painting

6 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 4

Oh for sure, I'm not trying to diminish the significance of her work. I just think stating that its a modern take makes it more powerful :)

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

But it isn’t exactly? It’s her original plan that was then painted over? - the new painting shows both at the same time (which IS powerful)

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I'm not sure I follow - I was under the impression that the piece we're talking about is entirely independent. 1/2

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

As in Gilje has imagined what the original artist ought to have painted given her social situation, then painted her interpretation of that.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Sorry, I don't understand. Was there an underpainting in Artemesia's painting as well, or not?

6 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 1

There may well be, but I doubt it was similar to the image depicted in the post above. changes to the pose of a paintings subject was common

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

But it would be highly irregular for the pose to change so dramatically. It's usually more subtle changes - like the position of a hand.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

And while there may be an under-layer, its unlikely it would show on x-ray. The reason the above one does is because it was painted in lead.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Rad indeed. Thank @op for this interesting reading. I will look for more of her work. You’re rad, too!

Fun fact, the story of Suzanna also includes the line "your fine lie has cost you your head" said by Daniel to the elder.

Does anyone know why the original painting shows up on xray? Wouldnt the strokes of the alteration cover up the original strokes?

6 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 2

1/? Different mineral pigments reflect/expel x-ray differently. Changes while the paint is all still wet would obscure early versions;

6 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

2/? cleaning the 1st paint off the canvas would make it gone; if the layer dries and you paint over it, it’s there forever.

6 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

The x-ray isn't actually part of the original painting. It was done by a contemporary artist who used the under drawing as a reference.

6 years ago | Likes 49 Dislikes 1

Does it show a picture or Artemesia's underpainting without this woman obfuscating it? (I'm female and annoyed by stunts.)
