A major figure in Caravaggio-style painting, Artemisia Gentileschi left her mark on art history with the dramatic power of her paintings and the central place she gave to female figures, both sacred and historical.
This musical programme echoes her most striking works: Suzanne’s astonishment, Mary Magdalene’s ecstasy and the Virgin Mary’s gentleness come to life in music. Through a journey through Seicento Italy, the voices of composers who were influential during Artemisia’s lifetime intersect: Domenico Mazzocchi, Francesca Caccini, Giovanni Bassano… So many musical perspectives on the same myths painted by Gentileschi.
