Description

Dramatic, exuberant and grand – words often used to describe the painting of Artemisia Gentileschi and sculpture of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Bernini’s works in stone are credited with creating the Baroque style of sculpture. Working in the dramatic style of Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi emerges as one of the most accomplished painters of 17th century and one of the most celebrated women artists in history. Both exemplify the true spirit of the Baroque.
