He shows women as lovers, as jealous and duplicitous, as killers, but\u0000 also as the gateway to redemption. He was aware of the injustices often imposed\u0000 by men upon women, and urges his viewers to meditate on the unfairness of their\u0000 victimhood. His purpose, as he said himself, is to encourage his viewers to think\u0000 deeply about the moral implications of the subjects that he paints, no matter how\u0000 harsh or noble they might be.","PeriodicalId":177922,"journal":{"name":"Poussin's Women","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117196616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
