ART 467 - Seminar:Artemisia Gentileschi

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

Artemisia Gentileschi was one of the most striking painters of the Italian Baroque style. Her powerful art and unconventional life were controversial, since both violated prevailing late Renaissance expectations about women and their capacities. This examination of Gentileschi addresses such issues as the unfolding of her style and its roots in the work of Caravaggio, the situations of women artists in the 17th century, the iconography of female heroism she pioneered, and Gentileschi's influence upon her contemporaries.
