A rogue, genuus , everyday Robin Hood character and an influencer. I am so excited to learn nore about this artist and see his work as for me he has shown the importance of being different, pushing the boundaries of the ' status quo'. and letting us know that art is for everyone. 💕
Excited to see his work when I next visit the National Portrait Gallery.
Reminds me of the incredible story of Artemisia Gentileschi painting herself into a scene of Judith beheading Holofernes...supposedly portraying herself beheading her accused rapist. Was at the Uffizi a couple of weeks ago and was reminded of it. Incred!
Yess I absolutely adore Artemisia Gentileschi and her life story - I might write something about her soon! Wow, hope you had an amazing time at the Uffizi gallery and thanks for your lovely message ◡̈
fascinating !
So interesting! I had no idea he was such a trouble making rebel. Thanks for introducing me to the term tenebrism!
What an intriguing synopsis of Carrabagio!
