Study after Orazio Gentileschi, Tim Lowly © 2010, graphite, 6" x 4"

 

 

This is a study of Orazio Gentileschi's Andata al Calvario in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (a detail of which I just posted). This artist is best known now as being the father of the painter Artemisia Gentileschi . As I look at this now I wonder (and it is a bit of a stretch) if Artemisia might have been the model for this figure, who I assume is Mary Magdelene or Mary the mother of Jesus.
