Artemisia Gentileschi
Baroque master
Italian painter (1593-c.1656), the first woman in Florence's art academy.
She painted fierce, powerful women at a time the art world belonged to men, and made a name when few women could. Her dramatic, unflinching canvases — especially her Judith — are now seen as some of the Baroque's very best.
Famous for

- Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting
- First woman in the Accademia di Arte del Disegno
