    Artemisia Gentileschi | Judith Slaying Holofernes
    Mar 27 2026
    Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–1653) was a preeminent Italian Baroque painter and one of the most accomplished artists of the 17th century. Born in Rome as the daughter of the esteemed painter Orazio Gentileschi, she developed her craft in an era where women were largely excluded from formal art academies and professional guilds. Despite enduring a traumatic assault by a tutor and a grueling, high-profile trial in 1612, Gentileschi forged a highly successful career that spanned Rome, Florence, Venice, and Naples. She broke significant historical barriers in 1616 by becoming the first woman admitted to the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence, an achievement that granted her the legal right to sign her own contracts and manage her own professional affairs. Gentileschi is celebrated for her mastery of tenebrism—a style characterized by intense contrasts of light and shadow—and her unparalleled ability to render human emotion with raw, visceral intensity. Her most famous work, Judith Slaying Holofernes, exemplifies her unique perspective, portraying the biblical heroine with a focus on physical strength, focused determination, and female solidarity. This depiction stands in stark contrast to versions by male contemporaries, who often portrayed the character as delicate or hesitant. Often interpreted through the lens of her personal resilience and agency, Gentileschi’s paintings frequently feature powerful, complex women. Today, she is recognized not only as a feminist icon but as a defining figure of the Baroque period whose technical skill and narrative depth rivaled the greatest masters of her time.

    This week, I have an interview with Gavin Whitehead, the creator and host of The Art of Crime and a new limited series, Raven. Find Gavin online: Raven The Art of Crime www.theartofcrimepodcast.com The African American Wax Museum of Harlem was established in 1989 by the eccentric artist and fashion designer Raven Chanticleer. Located in the basement of a brownstone on 164th Street, the museum featured approximately two dozen handmade wax figures depicting "heroes and sheroes" of Black history, including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Unlike traditional wax museums that prioritize strict realism, Chanticleer utilized an anachronistic and flamboyant aesthetic to foster cultural pride. Figures were often adorned in extravagant costumes of Chanticleer's own design—such as Harriet Tubman in aviator sunglasses—intended to make historical icons feel vibrant and relatable to the local community and visiting school groups.

    Chuck Close said when a problem seems overwhelming, you should break it down into smaller pieces. To tackle the photorealistic faces, Chuck Close would use a grid. He broke the image down into sections allowing him to focus on the lines, shapes, and proportions one little bit at a time. In his early works, he would erase the grid as he painted, but as he matured, he chose to lean into the grid. He not only left it visible, but in many works he emphasized it making the paintings appear almost pixilated as the viewers see every square he plotted. As a child, he wanted to be a magician, but couldn’t resist revealing how the tricks were done. For him, it was more impressive when you see the work that produces the magic, and I gotta say I agree.
