Artemisia Gentileschi – Agnes Merlet

The Renaissance, the Age of Enlightenment, a time when humanism was discovered and mankind reinvented the vision of himself. A time of great designers like Giotto and Michelangelo, authors like Dante changing the written word and the painters and sculptors like Da Vinci, Titian, Raphael and Donatello.

This is the traditional image of this period, there were however a number of talented, imaginative and equally as productive women who despite the disadvantages of the times bought us some wonderful works. Although most had the luxury of a privileged background or were the daughters of practicing artists their acceptance was still none the easier.

Between the period 1400 to 1650, covering the Renaissance, Mannerist and early Baroque styles there were some 30 known women artists across Europe whose works are recorded and activities documented. A number worked alongside the great masters, some being the first in their field but all producing magnificent artworks, the equal of their more recognised male counterparts.

A small collection of artists considering they cover 250 years of creativity but their establishment led to many others being freely admitted into the ranks of the artist, allowed to participate in life studies and openly learn their trade, while also being welcomed into the artists guilds.

I have a picture of a painting and I need to know what who the artist is and what it is called. Thanks!?

This is a picture of a woman who is clothed and has her hands up almost like she is casting a spell. There is a vase of flowers I think a rose in the right lower corner. She has dark hair with a flower tucked in her hair on the left side. She is dressed in a white cloth draped. It looks like a Artemisia Gentileschi type painting but I was unable to find it my picture when searching. If anyone knows what this is it would help so much!! Thanks

What you’ve described sounds like Caravaggio’s “Boy Bitten By a Lizard.” I know it looks like a woman, but it’s really a young boy being startled by a lizard which has crawled out of the vegetation on the table and bitten him on the right hand. I love this painting!

I attached the Wikipedia link below which shows an image. Hopefully it’s a match.
