The Artistic Epic of Artemisia Gentileschi

This experience follows Artemisia Gentileschi at a time and in a world where women had virtually no rights and were essentially under the tutelage of men. Yet it was in this context that she became one of the most recognized and sought-after European painters of her time. This story tells how she rose above the odds and impressed the whole of Europe with her talent.
