Curriculum:

This course will examine Caravaggio’s flesh tone palette while working from a live model in a pose inspired by the story of Lucrezia, a noble woman from ancient Rome.  Her story: overwhelmed with grief and shame after she is assualted by the king’s son, Tarquin, she commits suicide.  Her death ignites a rebellion against the Roman monarchy and leads to the founding of the Roman republic.

To the best of my knowledge, Caravaggio never made a painting inspired by her, but it was painted by a contemporary, Artemisia Gentileschi.  The painting I use in the course promo is by Rembrandt; one of two paintings he made of her, both of which are gems.

Lesson 1: Introduction and preparation of canvas
Lesson 2: Drawing with Paint
Lesson 3: Drawing continued

Model fee included.

All materials included except canvas and brushes:
A glass palette and painting medium is provided.  Paints are also included in the price and I strongly recommend you use them (they are Michael Harding paints, the same brand I use for my own painting).

However, if you have your own paint, oil and palette, you may deduct €50 from the final payment.

Students are responsible for buying their own brushes and canvas, which can easily be done in the art shop located above the PADASOR studio.

Terms and Conditions:

  • The deposit is non-refundable.
  • There is no reimbursement for absences, nor make-up lessons.

Programma

Questo corso esaminerà la tavolozza dei toni incarnati di Caravaggio lavorando da modello dal vero in una posa ispirata alla storia di Lucrezia, una nobile donna dell’antica Roma.  La sua storia: sopraffatta dal dolore e dalla vergogna dopo essere stata assalita dal figlio del re, Tarquinio, si toglie la vita. La sua morte accende una ribellione contro la monarchia romana e porta alla nascita della Repubblica.

Per quanto ne sappia, Caravaggio non ha mai dipinto un’opera ispirata a lei, ma lo fece una sua contemporanea, Artemisia Gentileschi. Il dipinto che utilizzo per il promo del corso è di Rembrandt; uno dei due dipinti che le dedicò, entrambi dei piccoli capolavori.
