Shady Ladies

Artemisia Gentileschi (featured on our tour) is one of the greatest Nasty Women of art history. Artemisia Gentileschi turned the horrors of her own life repression, injustice, rape into brutal biblical paintings that were also a war cry for oppressed women. Because of the restrictions placed on woman, she was unable to enter traditional artistic training system as an apprentice or assistant of an established studio. Instead she trained with her father Orazio, who boasted of her talent that far surpassed that of her brothers.
