    About this ebook

    The Italian Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi is considered one of the most accomplished painters in the generation following Caravaggio. In an era when women painters were not easily accepted by the artistic community or patrons, she was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence, achieving fame for her many depictions of strong female characters from myth and the Bible. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Gentileschi’s complete works in beautiful detail, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

      THE HIGHLIGHTS

      In this section, a sample of Gentileschi’s most celebrated works is provided, with concise introductions, special ‘detail’ reproductions and additional biographical images.

      MADONNA AND CHILD

      Artemisia Gentileschi was born on 8 July 1593 in Rome in her parents’ home on Via Ripetta, near S. Giacomo degli Incurabili. She was the first born child of the artist Orazio Gentileschi, aged thirty, and Prudentia, aged eighteen. Orazio Gentileschi (1563–1639) had begun his career in Rome, painting in a Mannerist style, with much of his work consisting of figures painted in the decorative schemes of other artists. After 1600, he came under the influence of the more naturalistic style of Caravaggio.

      Artemisia was baptised on 10 July at S. Lorenzo in Lucina. The Gentileschi family lived in the artists’ quarter between Piazza del Popolo and Piazza di Spagna, in Rome’s Campo Marzio Rione of Rome. Orazio and Prudentia had four sons after Artemisia, two of whom died in childhood. From 1597 to 1600, Artemisia’s family resided in the Piazza Santa Trinità, now known as The Spanish Steps.

      Artemisia would have been introduced to painting in her father’s workshop, demonstrating more talent than her brothers, who worked alongside her. She learned drawing, how to mix colours and how to paint. Since her father’s style took inspiration from Caravaggio, her own technique was just as heavily influenced in turn. Her approach to subject matter was different from her father’s as her paintings tended towards naturalism, where Orazio’s were often idealised. From
