Artemisia Gentileschi é talvez tão conhecida por ser uma excelente pintora como pela sua vida trágica. Ela foi estuprada por um amigo de seu pai, passou por um traumático julgamento após prestar queixas, tendo sido examinada e aceitado testemunhar sob tortura como forma de evidência [sic]. O culpado, mesmo tendo confessado o estupro e, mais importante na época, que ela era virgem, nunca pagou pelo crime.
Dizem que foi esse trauma que a fez se focar na figura de Judith, que virou uma especialidade. Mesmo com tudo isso ela foi capaz de ser tornar uma pintora reconhecida (depois de ter recuperado a respeitabilidade [sic] com um casamento arranjado), e espalhou a influência do Caravaggismo até Napoles. Depois de conhecer sua história, tive que comprar o livro para conhecer melhor sua obra. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0691002851, Paperback)

Artemisia Gentileschi, widely regarded as the most important woman artist before the modern period, was a major Italian Baroque painter of the seventeenth century and the only female follower of Caravaggio. This first full-length study of her life and work shows that her powerfully original treatments of mythic-heroic female subjects depart radically from traditional interpretations of the same themes.
