    Kunsthistorisches Museum (II): it's impossible to do justice to this collection without spamming you. It feels as though the museum were a live beast & we were walking inside its ever-expanding limbs. 🌟 . . . #kunsthistorischesmuseum #wien #vienna
    Kunst-historisches Museum (I): at the temporary exhibition on Caravaggio and Bernini, my favourite piece was actually by Artemisia Gentileschi: I wasn't expecting to find her there, and my eyes just sparkled when I spotted her Maria Magdalena in Ecstasy, at a corner, luckily still unnoticed by the crowds. Artemisia always brings an unique perspective to her female figures, something we can never find in her (male...) contemporaries. Her Magdalena shows no trace of guilt, modesty, nor fear - instead, she is complete in the moment, a whole being, both strong and vulnerable, as though making herself available, almost like an offering, the true embodiment of ecstasy. 🌟 . . . #kunsthistorischesmuseum #caravaggio #artemisiagentileschi #terbrugghen
