S2: Ep12 – The Most Tragic Painting from The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Hello, this is Nisreen.
Welcome to the 12th episode of Season Two of my podcast—it’s lovely to speak with you again!
The other day, I visited New York City for the first time in my life. Among the highlights there was one that stood out- visiting one of the city’s most famous cultural landmarks, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. With its astounding collection of 1.5 million works, it was, of course, impossible to take everything in in a single day.
However, there was one painting in particular that seized my attention: The Rape of Tamar by Eustache Le Sueur, a French artist. The piece depicts a harrowing story from the Old Testament in which Amnon, the eldest son of King David, becomes consumed with desire for his half-sister, Tamar, and commits a terrible act of violence against her.
As heartbreaking as the theme is, I was mesmerised by the technical finesse of this artwork. It even inspired me to create my own fan art for this episode’s thumbnail. In today’s episode, I’ll break down what makes this painting such a remarkable example of the power of art.
