Defying the Norm: Magdalena Ventura and the Spectacle of Difference

"Magdalena Ventura with Her Husband and Son," also known as "The Bearded Lady," is a striking 1631 oil on canvas by Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera. Housed at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, this work is part of the Fundación Casa Ducal de Medinaceli collection. The painting is renowned for its depiction of Magdalena Ventura, an Italian woman from Abruzzi, who developed a beard at the age of 37.

At 52, she is portrayed nursing her baby, with her husband in the background, challenging traditional gender norms and 17th-century artistic conventions. Ribera's work reflects a fascination with individuals who defied societal expectations, contributing to a gallery of 'unusual' portraits popular during that era.

In the visage of Magdalena Ventura, Ribera captures not merely the anomaly of nature but the societal gaze that transforms uniqueness into spectacle. Here, the bearded woman stands, a testament to the caprices of nature and the cruelty of human curiosity. Her portrayal, a blend of maternal gentleness and masculine features, challenges the beholder to question the very fabric of beauty and ugliness.

Magdalena Ventura's portrait by Jusepe De Ribera confronts us with the stark interplay of gender and societal norms. Her bearded countenance, a rare defiance of expected femininity, is not just a biological curiosity but a mirror to our collective discomfort with the atypical. Ribera's work compels us to reflect on the spectacle of difference and the often unkind human fascination with it, Ventura’s image, thus, becomes a canvas of paradoxes, echoing that ugliness, in its defiance of symmetry and order, is as compelling as beauty itself.

The Chapel of the Treasury at the Certosa di San Martino, Naples

This room was created to hold the most valuable items belonging to the Carthusian monks of San Martino. The ceiling was painted by Luca Giordano in 1704. The altar was made in 1610 from lapis lazuli, amethyst and carnelian by the Florentine artist Gennaro Monte. The Pietà above the altar was painted by Jusepe de Ribera in 1637. The ebony and gilded copper display cases in the niches are reliquaries that once held the alleged bones of saints that attracted pilgrims from all over Europe. The wooden cabinets on the side walls held gold and silver items - chalices, monstrances, crosses, croziers, cope brooches, etc. - the usual Roman Catholic treasure trove.

What is Jesuit art?¹ A person could answer: objects made by and for Jesuits; the decoration of Jesuit churches; or simply the physical remnants of the Society of Jesus, from the confirmation of the order by Pope Paul iii (1468–1549, r.1534–49) on September 27, 1540 to its suppression by Pope Clement xiv (1705–74, r.1769–74) on July 21, 1773. None of these definitions would be wrong, but they fail to do justice to its extraordinary breadth. In fact, the category “Jesuit art” has been used to encompass objects made by Jesuit artists and workshops, commissioned by Jesuit...

For Jesuit art, the question of sources has been dominated by the issue of whether a “Jesuit style” exists, with the Church of the Gesù at the core of this argument. Begun in 1568, after the design of the architects Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola (1507–73) and Giacomo della Porta (1532–1602), if largely implemented under Giovanni Tristano (c.1515–75) and Giovanni de Rosis (1538–1610), the Gesù was completed in 1575 and consecrated on November 25, 1584.63 Outside, its façade was known for its streamlined, classical symmetries and the memorable inverted scrolls bracing the ends of its upper level,...

Today’s researcher of Jesuit art is well placed to assume a Janus-like point of view, in honor of the ancient Roman god’s ability to see both past and future, for he or she can as easily look to its sources as consider how it contributed to the longue durée of art history. The worldwide production of western art pioneered by the Jesuits resulted in a modern image defined by its networks, technological innovation, and subjective posture, all systems sympathetic to the transition-rich Ignatian “way of proceeding.” The exemplary case of the networked image is the Salus Populi Romani Madonna, as...

A last selection brings the discussion full circle to the Gesù in Rome, if this time to the private rooms of St. Ignatius of Loyola in the International College. A memorial portrait, St. Ignatius in His Study, c.1609, by Jusepe de Ribera (1591–1652), suggests that the best way to recover the thought of Ignatius, and by extension the historical Society of Jesus, may be through books (fig. 4.1). The scholarly Ignatius is pictured writing at his desk, pausing to look up at the viewer after completing a page of a manuscript: “Societas Iesu” beneath the heading “A.M.D.G.,” the abbreviation...

Saint Jerome and the Angel of Judgement (1626) by Jusepe de Ribera (1591 - 1652)

Ribera painted this magnificent image in 1626 for one of the side chapels on the Epistle side of the church of the Trinità delle Monache in Naples. Saint Jerome is one of the most popular saints in western art.

In the second half of the 16th century a new iconography was developed where the saint was depicted listening to the trumpet of the Apocalypse. This iconography was widely used by the Counter-Reformation Church. The distinguished saint, venerated as a doctor of the Church, is depicted inside a cave with his characteristic attributes of the stone to symbolise the severity of his penance, the skull as a symbol of death, the red mantle that refers to his position as a cardinal, the lion that he tamed in the desert when he removed a thorn from its paw and a parchment with Hebraic characters alluding to his translation of the Bible into Latin. After the Council of Trent his translation was considered the only official version.

Ribera has used a pyramid composition, organised around two diagonals which cross over. The figures are silhouetted against a dark background which accentuates their volume. A powerful beam of light bathes the figure of the saint, highlighting the naturalism of his anatomy and his gesture, with his arms outstretched in surprise at the apparition. This surprise is also reflected in his face - which is that of a humble man - with his eyes open-wide. The light allows us to observe a magnificent still life on the right of the composition.

Caravaggio's influence is apparent in the lighting and the muted tones employed. However, some elements indicate the development taking place in the artist's style, such as the richness of the folds or the greater expressiveness of the forms. Ribera painted the Trinity with Saintsand the Eternal Father for the same church.

“The Dark Rite”. The composition was inspired by the painting of Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera called “Magdalena Ventura with Her Husband and Son” (aka “The Bearded Lady”). Other sources of inspiration: satanic bands such as Coven, Twin Temple, 60s satanists, Anton LaVey and a little bit by Todd McFarlane’s Spawn franchise.

PINTURAS

Carmelita Requeña (1969)

After completing his studies in Paris, Eakins traveled to Spain in 1869. Donde conoció el trabajo de Diego Velázquez and Jusepe de Ribera. He then settled for the winter in Seville, from where he wrote to his sister that he was painting Carmelita Requeña, the seven-year-old daughter of street performers.

Gross

quería hacer una clase de poster en donde se presentara al dr. Gross y a la comunidad de médicos y su excelencia para la exhibición "Memorial Hall Centenial Exhibition" de 1876 cuya temática de ese año era "el progreso"

eligió a Gross ya que era un innovador en la medicina quirúrgica

la cirugía era para los "pobres", pero durante el siglo xix empezó a tomar relevancia ya que esta sanaba

cosas a notar en la pintura (avances en técnicas quirúrgicas):

-anestesia

-entendimiento de la renovación ósea (solo limpiando el hueso este se "renovaría", en donde una pequeña intervención mejoraría el estado de un paciente, en vez de una extrema elección como la amputación que se hubiera hecho en el pasado)

aunque se ve que dr. Gross niega la entonces teoría de los gérmenes la cuál todavía no era totalmente aceptada

Agnew

La estirilización de los intrumentos, así como el cambio de ropa se puede ver en la Clínica Agnew, 13 años después de la pintura sobre Gross

Cuando se retiró, sus estudiantes juntaron dinero para mandar a hacer un retrato que honrara sus logros

Ahora hay luz artificial

Ahora la única mujer de la escena está viendo la escena, serena, profesional

bandeja metálica con instrumentos esterilizándose

las manos de Agnew están mojadas por el esterilizador

pinturas históricas para la edad moderna

Eakins became a drawing and painting instructor at the Pennsylvania Academy, where he encouraged his students to use the new medium of photography in order to aid their own understanding of anatomy and motion.

He worked alongside Eadweard Muybridge, famous for his sequential photos of bodies and animals, and an early developer of moving pictures.

Eakins’ particular interest in the human form, however, led the artist to go on to develop his own technique for taking multiple images of a body in motion and layering them in one single image. He felt seeing the images so close together gave a better understanding of actual movement.

It made sense for Eakins, who was an athlete himself, to marry his photographic techniques with his passion for sports in his oil paintings. He painted rowers, wrestlers, and swimmers and amassed an enormous collection of photographic studies.

In 1876, Eakins joined the faculty of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Painted the same year, Baby at Play depicts Ella Crowell, the artist’s two-and-one-half-year-old niece, in the side yard of his own Philadelphia home.

MWW Artwork of the Day (4/18/22) Jusepe de Ribera (Spanish, 1591-1652) Penitent Mary Magdalene (c. 1637) Oil on canvas, 97 x 66 cm. Museo del Prado, Madrid

Mary Magdalene is depicted half-length, in a pensive and melancholy mood. She rests her head on a skull that symbolizes the brevity of earthly life. A jar of salve, her characteristic attribute, appears in the foreground. In keeping with traditional iconography, she wears a sackcloth garment against her bare skin and her long hair hangs free. This work dates from the beginning of Ribera's second period; it still has a tenebrist air, but the light has become more golden and produces intense highlights on the saint's hair and on the metal jar.

Ribera is one of the featured artists in this MWW gallery/album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.522628261175881&type=3
