A new art exhibit at the Spelman College Museum of Art reimagines Renaissance-era creation stories with Black religions and history at the center.
Consider Michelangelo’s famous “Creation of Adam,” Sandro Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” or Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.” When you think of Western art’s grand visual narratives of humanity’s inception — and all its triumphs, beauty, tragedies and meaning — they likely look very White. This is because, for centuries, the artistic traditions of the European Renaissance have been the authority of such themes.
Viewed in person, the figures in her paintings appear so real it’s almost as if you could reach out and touch them. This effect was intentional, embracing a technique employed by European Old Masters for painting White skin in a way that made it glow and stand out from the canvas; it involves layering thin coats of paint so that lighting highlights different features and creates depth, Rosales said.
