Your help is needed! Suggest the portrait of woman for my Wall of Women art project!

[CTyankee]

I have a collection of images of women painted/sculpted by great artists on the wall behind my computer desk. I have one empty space. Please suggest one that I can use to fill it. They are all printed off the Internet, so I'll need something I can print fairly easily.

There are 16 women there now (from left to right and in columns of 3 and 2): Klimt (not Adele), Leonardo (angel Uriel), Millais, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec (poster), Renoir, Michelangelo (head shot of Bruges Madonna), Vermeer, Matisse, Sherold (painting of Michelle Obama), Ringgold, Bernini, Goya, Sargent (El Jaleo), Lippi, Liebowitz B and W photo portrait of Maya Angelou.

I avoid nudity as it is distracting to some. The Goya duchess is a head shot (but it is the one of her clothed anyway). The Matisse is fauvist to add a big shot of color.

A tondo might be nice.

The new portrait will be situated next to Manet's Woman at the Bar of the Folies Bergere, so we've got a little still life of bottles and a bowl of oranges there.

I hope to get a photo of my finished wall to you SOON!

5. There are some great ones here, but I couldn't print one I like a lot, it looked like a watercolor which would be a nice

addition! Maybe my computer guy could do it. He'll be here next week some time.

I could move the Angelou to another wall in my office. then I could devote more space to RBG and Eleanor Roosevelt. It would be wonderful!

10. John Singer Sargent: Lady Agnew

I had been just flipping through a book years ago, and glanced at this painting; and fell in love with it. The representation of the filmy fabrics contrasted with the satin type sash, and her direct gaze all captured my mind and would never let go. If I could have a high quality print of any painting, this would be the one.

11. His portrature was just lovely, I agree. I made the decision to include his El Jaleo based on the excitement of the

the light/dark contrast (known a chiarascuro) of El Jaleo. But oh how his silks and satins in his portraiture shine! Truly beautiful, I agree entirely.

15. I hadn't thought of that, TBH. Perhaps just her head would be very interesting!

16. Artemisia Gentileschi, Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting (La Pittura), c.1638-39, oil on canvas.

One of the foremost painters of the Baroque period, Artemisia Gentileschi depicts herself as Painting itself. This idea harkens back to the classical Greeks but continued with the Renaissance and the publishing of Iconologia in 1593 by Cesare Ripa. In this book, the iconography for various allegorical figures is established, including Painting. “A woman, beautiful, with full black hair, disheveled, and twisted in various ways, with arched eyebrows that show imaginative thought, the mouth covered with a cloth tied behind her ears, with a chain of gold at her throat from which hangs a mask, and has written in front ‘imitation.’ Artemisia matches this description exactly save for her mouth being covered. She will not be made to keep silent. The movement in this piece is striking. Our eye is made to go directly towards Artemisia’s face before following back and forth along her arms. The background is blank except for this tan tone and a slightly darker band of color on the right of the picture place to give the illusion of the corner of a wall. Her absorption in her work as the focal point of our attention, as art in action, is extraordinarily beautiful.
