Artemisia, Heroine of Art

The Musée Jacquemart-André is honouring Artemisia Gentileschi !

As one of the rare female artists of the modern era to have achieved international fame during her lifetime and to have been able to make a living from her painting, this Caravaggesque painter had an extraordinary destiny.

Featuring some forty paintings, ranging from the artist’s recognised masterpieces to canvases of recent attribution, as well as paintings rarely shown outside their usual place of conservation, this exhibition highlights Artemisia Gentileschi’s role in the history of 17th century art.
