Il dipinto di Elisabetta Sirani (1659) rappresenta la vicenda di Timoclea di Tebe, sorella di Teagene, il generale sconfitto dai Macedoni a Cheronea nel quarto secolo prima di Cristo. Alessandro Magno, conquistata la città, vi stanzia una truppa di Traci, il cui comandante prende possesso della casa di Timoclea senza il rispetto dovutole. Una sera, dopo essersi ubriacato, usa violenza su di lei e la interroga, intimandole di rivelargli dove custodisca i suoi oggetti più preziosi. Timoclea lo guida in giardino, dicendogli di aver nascosto i suoi beni sul fondo di un pozzo asciutto e, appena lui si sporge, lo spinge giù; con l'aiuto delle ancelle, inizia a lanciargli addosso tutte le pietre che trova, fino a ucciderlo. I soldati la scoprono e la conducono legata di fronte al loro generale Alessandro Magno. Qui, racconta Plutarco: "appare, nell'aspetto e nell'incedere, ricolma di dignità e coraggio, mentre, senza turbamento né timore, dice: mio fratello era Teagene, che cadde contro di voi a Cheronea per la libertà dei Greci, affinché noi non subissimo questa violenza; ma poiché ho subito questa indegnità, non mi rifiuto di morire: e infatti forse è meglio che io non sopporti, sopravvivendo, un'altra notte come questa". Alessandro, colpito dalla nobiltà e dalla compostezza della donna, comanda di lasciarla libera.

Hi Michael!
I've been to Artemisia's exhibition too!
Ah, but this is from Sirani!
Anyway, I don't know about you, but I liked it up to a certain point... Too many severed heads!
It was an instructive exhibition, even if I came out a bit dark: I understood that men must be taken either by the throat or by the legs! :-/
I understand the guy who nonchalantly runs away. If he had known, I don't think he would have even entered this matriarchal exhibition! :-or Congratulations for catching the sudden movement! :-D

Paolo, Diodato
, thank you, see you soon!
Viola :-) , I'll tell you that the exhibition didn't excite me either, but it had to be visited...
In addition, the presence of a school, with two teachers explaining the works, hindered the view of the paintings, but I was struck by this girl, estranged from everything else, left staring at the painting alone, while her classmates went further. Maybe it's just my thought, but I think she felt close to a woman who lived more than two thousand years ago, in a way that no man can experience.
Thanks, bye!
Michael

Why didn't it excite you?

The exhibition was well set up, as is always the case at the Ducale, but I prefer photography to painting, a matter of personal taste and lack of knowledge of pictorial art, which does not allow me to fully appreciate it.
Moreover, as you said, the theme of rape and the desire for revenge was perhaps all too recurrent.
