Description
English: The painting tells the story of how Queen Artemisia of Caria in Asia Minor supposedly ordered the building of the Mausolaeum at Halicarnassus in memory of her husband, Mausolus (352 B.C.). The Queen is said to have mixed Mausolus’ ashes with liquid, which she drank. She thus comes to symbolise a widow’s devotion. Vouet depicts the strongly idealised figures in a classical architectural setting, using Venetian colour and light. Form and content harmonise.
Svenska: Målningen visar hur drottning Artemisia av Karien i Mindre Asien låter bygga Mausoleet i Halikarnassos till minne av sin make, Mausollos (d. 352 f.Kr.). Det berättas att drottningen blandade Mausollos aska med vatten, som hon drack. Artemisia blir därför en symbol för änkans hängivenhet till sin makes minne. De starkt idealiserade figurerna avbildas med det venetianska måleriets ljus och färg i en antikiserande miljö. Form och innehåll harmonierar.
