The route to the Upper Gallery, which contains two paintings by Artemisia Gentileschi as well as works by Guido Reni and Luca Giordano, leads through a variety of palace rooms and past numerous depictions in which painters focus on the female body. Under the motto “A different perspective”, questions at seven stations invite visitors to look at paintings from an unusual perspective: Who is looking at whom here - and why in this way? Did a gender-specific gaze shape these depictions? And how does Artemisia Gentileschi look at the events? The questions draw attention to the historical notions of gender roles expressed in the paintings.
