Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 -1654) was a superb Italian Baroque painter whose work as a female artist has only recently been recognized and celebrated.

Through her art, Artemisia illustrated her revenge and triumph, and she is now considered to be a 17th century feminist heroine as well as a great artist.
