Episode 005: Artemisia Gentelleschi



Judith Slaying Holofernes (Naples Version)



Judith Slaying Holofernes by Caravaggio
 This painting by Caravaggio is often pointed to to show the difference in approach when looked at from a man's point of view rather than a woman's.




Judith and her Maidservant
 Artemisia would often revisit the same paintings or take from different parts of a story she'd already painted.


Susanna and the Elders

Lucretia
Some other paintings by Artemisia.

Episode 004: The Last Supper and Da Vinci



Vitruvian Man




These are inventions and images from the sketchbooks of Leonardo Da Vinci's thoughts and inventions. 

Madonna of the Rocks




Mona Lisa




Last Supper

Some of Da Vinci's most well known images. Full of experimentation and technique that would be mimicked for centuries to come ... except maybe that mixing oil- and water-based paints.

Episode 003: Graffiti and Banksy



Street artists often use cave paintings as precedence for what they do.


Some of Banksy's work can be seen over and over again: particularly work with the chimp and rat.






This is a piece that the community where it was installed was requested to stay. The community won in this case.



Palestine wall.
