Who was Artemisia Gentileschi?⁠ ⁠ Gentileschi lived in 16th- and 17th-century Italy and was the most famous female artist of the Baroque era. ⁠ ⁠ She got her artistic start through her father, Orazio Gentileschi, who was also a well-known painter. However, her name became more recognized after she was rediscovered and recontextualized in the 20th century.⁠ ⁠ She was known for her portrayals of Biblical and Classical heroines. These subjects included Judith Slaying Holofernes, one of her most iconic works. ⁠ ⁠ For more on Artemisia Gentileschi, visit our #LinkInBio for a look at this recently acquired painting, Lucretia.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 🏷 #GettyMuseum #ArtHistory #Art #Artist #Paintings #ArtemisiaGentileschi #Portraits⁠
