At the time of Artemisia painting was reserved exclusively for men. A woman could not have an academic education, could not sign her paintings or receive any compensation. Talented, tenacious, visionary: this is the amazing story of Artemisia Gentileschi.The biography of an ante litteram feminist who glimpsed the possibility of a different life and did not give up until she managed to achieve it, triumphing over the most atrocious hostilities and revealing to the world a painter who entered the history of art with arrogance.
