My spouse and I were actually in the process of planning a trip to Europe earlier this year, specifically because of this exhibit (she's a painter herself and Gentileschi is her favorite Renaissance artist), but of course all that went up the spout when the pandemic got into high gear. This will make for a nice pre-holiday gift; like you say, not nearly as immersive as seeing her works in-person, but in the Current Times virtual will just have to do.
Just wanted to send a note saying how much I appreciate these articles. I love art, but always feel I'm getting only a quarter of the experience if I look at it without context.
@4 Thank you for that plug! I read it just before Flesh and Blood came thru Seattle last year and it made me fall even more in love with Artemisia and her work.
Please wait...
and remember to be decent to everyone all of the time.

@1: Oh darn, that's too bad. It would have been thrilling. So sorry.
