Скачать или смотреть Artist Lindsey Mendick on the National Gallery show: “I’m not sure how funny this satire is”

In this episode of Art After Dark, multimedia artist Lindsey Mendick visits a show of Renaissance satirical works at the National Gallery.

The Ugly Duchess: Beauty and Satire in the Renaissance consists of thirteen artworks, ranging from ceramics to paintings and includes one of the best-known faces in the National Gallery: Quinten Massys’s 16th-century depiction of an elderly woman, a painting known as The Ugly Duchess.

The exhibition showcases artworks that look at how women, old age and facial difference were satirised and demonised in the Renaissance, shaping attitudes that still exist today.
