In 1630, Artemisia Gentileschi relocated to Naples after spending her life in Rome, Florence, and Venice. Despite the challenges she faced there as an independent woman painter, Gentileschi developed an innovative branding strategy and workshop practice that swiftly made her one of the most sought-after artists in Naples. In this talk, curator Davide Gasparotto illustrates the ambitious and monumental compositions, including the newly restored Hercules and Omphale, that Gentileschi produced during the final phase of her career.
