"Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-after 1654) is one of the most important representatives of the Italian Baroque. So well-known that only her first name was sufficient, and it still is: Artemisia. But Artemisia was not only a painter. She was a painter woman: an artist's daughter, a mother. She was headstrong and determined to be successful in a male-dominated world, when opportunities and possibilities were very limited. For Artemisia, her talent was the key. With her work she earned an income, gained prestige and a measure of freedom, a place in the world.Artemisia's oeuvre and life offer starting points for a larger story about early modern Europe and about women in history.This book shows Artemisia's beautiful portraits, interspersed with dramatic, theatrical compositions. Performances that are utterly baroque, sensual, sometimes bordering on scandal, a mixture of violence and seduction."
