March 8, 2021, on-line event
When Michelangelo the Younger commissioned a 5-month pregnant Artemisia Gentileschi to paint the Allegory of Inclination on Casa Buonarroti’s ceiling, the fee was three times that of her male counterparts. Her allegorical depiction represented just one of many 'virtues' painted to commemorate the qualities of ‘the Divine Michelangelo’. And it had Artemisia’s face. To start our celebrations for Women’s History Month, join us on March 8th for ‘The Artemisia Connection’, a webinar inspired by Michelangelo’s legacy and Artemisia’s artistic ‘inclination’. During this program, introduced by Cristina Acidini, President of Casa Buonarroti, and taking place inside the very gallery where Artemisia’s angelic figure still lives, Conservator Elizabeth Wicks will interview author Linda Falcone, Director of Advancing Women Artists. How did Artemisia’s Florentine relationships give momentum to her career? Do Michelangelo’s ‘virtues’ apply to historic female artists and their context? Times: 6.30pm in Italy; 12.30 EST; 9.30 PST; 5.30pm in the UK. (In English).
Registration is required, please register here.
Event organizers: Italian Cultural Institute, Embassy of Italy, Washington DC, Advancing Women Artists, Casa Buonarroti.
