A Painting with a Sad Story Behind It...

The Bearded Woman of Abruzzi is an interesting painting. While it might seem that the subject of the painting by Spanish painter Jusepe de Ribera is what interests people, it is actually how the artist portrayed the woman shown here, named Magdalena Venture. This art analysis shows what the painter was trying to show, and how he gave her the dignity and respect she deserved.

This is fascinating. My grandparents immigrated from Abbruzzi in 1915 to the United States of America. Thank you for this interesting look into 🖼️ art history.

Thank you for your video of this art analysis. A very somber looking couple. It's sad that she grew a beard at 37. However, she would have probably been rejected as a wife if she had a beard from her youth. At least she was given a chance to marry and have children.
