The painter has drawn on the city’s violent creative power to consider Mary, motherhood and muses
In the winter of 2015, the British artist Celia Paul was visiting Venice and sent a postcard of Giorgione’s La Tempesta to her friend, the American writer and theatre critic Hilton Als. “You have been on my mind and I have been feeling anxious,” she writes in her neat, slanting hand.
There were a lot of quite deliberate power games going on. I’m still trying to understand my own part in it.” Taking on the Venetian masters is a new facet. Paul’s reimagining of The Visitation by Carpaccio, whose works she admired in the Museo Correr during her residency, feels especially poignant. Whereas Mary supports her older cousin, Elizabeth, in Carpaccio’s painting, here Paul inverts the idea, and has retitled it Old Woman Embracing Her Young Self.
