Artemesia Gentileschi

Artemesia Gentileschi Artemesia Gentileschi is very different from other artists of her time. In the Renaissance era, it was almost unprecedented as a female painter. She has the style of Caravaggio and fulfills the role of women, they are in the position of power. Through the history of art, the idea that women only watch men has been shown. This may be because men are generally target audiences and nude women are the subject. Among her paintings, Gentileschi transferred her focus to women and showed them as real people.

We can not learn Artemisia Gentileschi unless we understand how personal history colors the theme of these paintings. At the age of 17, Gentileschi was raped by her father's friend, Artist Agostino Tassi. Tassi promises to marry Gentileschi - this was a social practice of the day. However, Orazio Gentileschi took him to the court, looking at he was married and tried not to leave his wife. Artemisia was forced to undergo a painful trial to confirm that he had not lied about what happened to him. Tashi has never been punished for sin. The first version of Judith and Holofernes dates back to this era of her life. Many scholars believe that when Judit is unable to protect himself, it is another self of Gentilereski.

Artemisia Gentileschi: 68 paintings Artemisia Gentileschi is an Italian Baroque painter and is regarded as one of the most skilled painter of later generation Caravaggio. In a time when female painters were hard to be accepted by the art world and customers, she was the first woman to become a member of the Florentine Academy of Arts. She painted pictures of many strongly suffering women (victims, suicides, warriors) from myths and the Bible and drew her expertise as a story of Judith. Her most famous work is Judith Slaying Holofermes, "Holofernes' dagger shows a terrible struggle and a bloody scene." She was a 17th century female painter involved in prosecution of raped and rapist, and for a long time I hid my performance as an artist. She has been considered curious for many years.
