Artemisia Gentileschi
Artemisia Gentileschi (July 8, 1593 - 1653) is today considered one of the most accomplished Early Baroque painters in the generation influenced by Caravaggio (the "Caravaggisti"). Remarkably, in an era when women painters were not easily accepted, she became the first female painter to become a member of the Accademia dell' Arte del Disegno in Florence. She was also one of the first female artists to paint history and religious paintings, at a time when such heroic themes were considered beyond a mere woman's reach.
