National Gallery London, online exhibition Artemisia Gentileschi

NATIONAL GALLERY (LONDON) Not even the coronavirus pandemic can stop what The Daily Telegraph called "the show of the season": anyone with a smartphone, PC or tablet can in fact immerse themselves with a simple click in the painful beauty of painting by Artemisia Gentileschi, absolute protagonist at the National Gallery in London in the great exhibition dedicated to her. For all fans of the exceptional 16th century painter, an on demand tour is available until the end of the exhibition (24 January) accompanied by the curator Letizia Treves: lasting 30 minutes, the tour allows you to learn about the life of Artemisia Gentileschi and to "enter" his most famous and dramatic paintings. The exhibition itinerary, inaugurated on 3 October last, explores the artist's career through thirty of his works, coming from public institutions and private collections around the world (most of the loans on display have never been seen in the UK before. ), presented together with contemporary letters and documents. To book the tour (which costs 8 pounds) just go to the link nationalgallery.org.uk/whats-on/artemisia-curator-led-exhibition -film. "Although this video cannot replace the experience of seeing the exhibition in person at the National Gallery - said the curator - it will allow us to share the story and the paintings of Artemisia with as many people as possible, especially with those who cannot reach Trafalgar Square right now ".
