Cleopatra (1635) Peinture par Artemisia Gentileschi

Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian Baroque painter who was famous in the 17th century. She was born on July 8, 1593, and died around 1656. At the time, people didn't like female artists, but she managed to make a place for herself in the world of painting. Orazio Gentileschi, Artemisia's father, was a professional painter, and it was from him that Artemisia learned to paint. Art critics have said that her paintings were so similar to those of her father that it was often hard to tell which was which. Both of their styles were clearly influenced by the paintings of Caravaggio. When Artemisia Gentileschi was a teenager, she was hurt by one of her father's friends. This had a big impact on her as a painter, and most of her paintings feature strong women. She worked for King Charles I in Rome, Florence, Naples, and finally London, where she became known as one of the best painters. Artemisia Gentileschi is thought to have been one of the most important artists of her time. Her painting "Judith Killing Holofernes" is one of her most well-known works and is still studied by art students today.
