Artemisia Gentileschi
1593 – 1653
Artemisia Gentileschi, the daughter of Orazio Gentileschi (1563-1639) was one of the greatest of Caravaggesque painters and a formidable personality. She was precociously gifted, built up a European reputation, and lived a life of independence rare for a woman of the time. Born in Rome, she worked mainly there and in Florence until she settled in Naples in 1630 (she also visited her father in England in 1638-40).
