Artemisia is one of few women from the 17th century who managed to pursue a career as a painter, and she is now acknowledged as one of the finest painters of all time. Although she employed models, she often used her own likeness on her female figures, creating a fascinating tension between art and life. She is best known for her psychologically insightful portrayals of courageous women struggling against adversity.
