Artwork Details:
- Based on Francisco de Goya y Lucientes' original artwork "A radiant female beset by dark spirits", 1812-20.
- The original drawing shows a woman standing with her hands over her heart and beset by a group of men in dark clothing, including a priest identifiable by his hat. Interpretations of the drawing include references to true religion or to Spain’s 1812 constitution as triumphant but threatened by the forces of evil.
- Demonstrating the thematic connections among Goya’s projects during the 1810s, this drawing has much in common with plate 79 from The Disasters of War. In the print, the radiant woman is on the ground, whereas in this drawing she stands with her hands over her heart and is beset by a group of men in dark clothing, including a priest identifiable by his hat. Interpretations of the drawing include references to true religion or to Spain’s 1812 constitution as triumphant but threatened by the forces of evil.
Dr. Jen's Description: Best antidote to the madness: power + calm = joy
July Bean's Description: There is so much powerful art from the time period when women were constantly under threat of being labeled as a witch or obsessed with dark magic. The original image from the early 19th century shows just how frightened people were of those they labeled as possessed by spirits.
I modified to blur the crowd of scared townspeople and increased the focus on the woman. I added brightness to evoke the radiance she held within herself.
The words are a reminder that none of what we experience is new; so many central themes are just as prevalent as they were hundreds of years ago.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the color purple is used to represent the Bodhisattva, a being who has attained enlightenment but chooses to remain in the world to help others achieve spiritual growth.
