Short biography of Artemisia Gentileschi.
Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 – c. 1656) was an Italian Baroque painter and one of the most accomplished 17th-century artists.
She initially worked in the style of Caravaggio and began producing professional work by the age of 15, preferring to paint women from myths, the Bible and well-known allegories.
Gentileschi was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno (Academy of the Arts of Drawing) in Florence, and had an international clientele, which was a significant achievement for a woman in her era.
Her skill in painting women with incredible naturalism and using colour to express dimension and drama set her apart from other artists in her time.
