Artemisia Gentileschi: great painter revealed

  • Summary

  • Despite deep personal challenges, Artemisia Gentileschi became a master painter in 17th-century Europe, a storyteller who brought a unique angle to her subjects, getting under their skin to bring them to life in paint. 

    A new exhibition, sponsored by Intesa Sanpaolo, explores Gentileschi’s life and work for the first time in the UK.

    Artemisia at the National Gallery fulfils the underlying objective of Intesa Sanpaolo’s ‘Progetto Cultura’ – to promote Italy’s artistic heritage beyond its national borders, in Europe and the rest of the world.

    Listen to the podcast to hear art critic Alastair Smart, National Gallery curator Letizia Treves and Laurence Aliquot, Director of Promotion, Marketing and Cultural Partnerships at Intesa Sanpaolo, discuss highlights from Artemisia, the first major exhibition of the artist’s work in the UK.
