The film
An oneiric journey through her masterworks
In 1618, at the age of 23, Artemisia Gentileschi became the first woman admitted to a drawing academy, and the first Italian woman artist to build an international career. The documentary follows her life through the letters she exchanged with collectors and figures such as Galileo Galilei, and through the paintings that carried her from scandal to redemption.
