EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from Jusepe de Ribera's renowned oil on canvas painting, "The Bearded Woman Breastfeeding". Created in 1631, this masterpiece is housed in the Hospital de Tavera in Toledo, Spain. The subject of the painting is Magdalena Ventura and her husband Felix, capturing a truly remarkable moment. In this particular section of the artwork, we witness Magdalena breastfeeding their infant child while displaying her prominent beard. This striking image challenges societal norms and perceptions of gender roles during that era. It highlights both the extraordinary nature of Magdalena's appearance as well as the intimate bond between mother and child. Ribera skillfully captures every intricate detail with his masterful brushwork, showcasing not only Magdalena's facial hair but also her shawl draped over her shoulder. The tender act of suckling by the baby adds an element of innocence and vulnerability to this thought-provoking scene. "The Bearded Woman Breastfeeding" serves as a testament to human diversity and resilience. It invites viewers to question conventional beauty standards while celebrating the miracle of life itself. Through this powerful portrayal, Ribera immortalizes Magdalena Ventura as an emblematic figure who defies societal expectations with grace and strength.
