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. ⁠
