EXHIBITION

Artemisia

PAID ENTRY The National Gallery, London, 4 April – 26 July, nationalgallery.org.uk/exhibitions/artemisia

Artemisia Gentileschi was a woman who broke the mould as the 17th-century’s most celebrated female artist. This first major UK exhibition of the Italian master will feature some of her finest paintings, self-portraits and recently discovered personal letters.

Now hailed as one of the most gifted and expressive artists of the time – inspired by the likes of Caravaggio – the tragic and brutal events of her personal life have often overshadowed how her work has been viewed.
