Happy #StarWarsDay 💙 The Force is strong with these paintings. Can you name the works that inspired these mash-ups? As well as the characters and vehicle from a galaxy far, far away in them?

Another female artist I’ve recently discovered is #ElisabettaSirani 🎨 She was an independent painter by 19, and ran her family’s workshop. When her father became incapacitated by gout, she supported her parents, three siblings, and herself through her art.

“Allegoria dell’Inclinazione” by #ArtemisiaGentileschi c. 1615 🎨 Oil on canvas - commissioned by Michelangelo Buonarroti, the Younger. Not to be confused with Michelangelo the famous sculptor/painter👨🏼🎨
So, you all probably know Artemisia’s “Susanna and the Elders” (c. 1610), but did you know that an x-ray was conducted on the painting in 1998 and this is what was discovered underneath🔬 Artemisia had originally painted this🎨 Why do you think she changed it?

As many of you know, Artemisia was the first woman admitted into the Academia dell’Arte del Disegno in Florence✏️ But did you know that she and Galileo knew one another?🔭 They were both members of the Academia del Disegno!
