Summary

For most Americans, there’s a list of arts that they might be able to rattle off if pressed to name them off the top of their heads. Picasso. Michelangelo. Leonardo da Vinci. Name recognition does go a long way, but such lists also highlight what many of us don’t know-- a huge treasure trove of talented artists from decades or centuries past that might not be household names, but still have created incredible additions to the story of art. It’s not a surprise that many of these individuals represent the more diverse side of things, too-- women, people of color, different spheres of the social or sexual spectrum. This season on the ArtCurious podcast, we’re covering the coolest artists you don’t know. This week: Jusepe de Ribera. Please SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts!

1:00.4	Or have you ever seen a painting so naturalistic that you almost want to reach out and touch it
1:05.1	to make sure it's actually oil on canvas and not something else like a bowl of fruit?
1:10.0	Absolutely, this happens, though just as a
1:12.6	PSA, please don't touch the art ever, because it's far more fragile than you think it is, even in
1:17.6	terms of its sensitivity to the oils on your fingertips. Sometimes art is meant to appear so lifelike that it's
1:24.5	really disturbing. There's been a long precedent for this in art that shows
1:28.4	this darker side of life in the most realistic ways possible, something that we touched on a bit
1:33.8	during our shock art series with works like Thomas Aikens's painting, The Gross Clinic.
1:38.9	Centuries before Aikins created his gory masterpiece, lived another painter in Europe, whose violent, dark paintings of
