Let’s Stop Defining Artemisia Gentileschi As The Rape-Victim Painter

PEOPLE, VISUAL Posted: June 11, 2020 12:02 pm

“Indexing Gentileschi’s oeuvre back to the rape and trial reinscribes the painter as an adolescent sex object, rather than an eminent adult artist with a 40-year career across major European cities. It also means that several of her paintings have been misattributed or overlooked because they didn’t correspond to the tropes of stricken or vengeful women. – Psyche
