Summary/Abstract: The text presents and updates the life and work of the 17th-century artist Artemisia Gentileschi. Her biography and her paintings intersect with aesthetic theories and historical times, which, within their limits, have determined the interpretation and explication of eternal themes transformed in a stunning artistic manner in her paintings.A dramatic biographical episode in her life and the subsequent humiliating trial of Artemisia Gentileschi, a victim, inspired the feminist movement of the 1970s. This text attempts to expand the reception of female autonomy in the times of Artemisia Gentileschi, but also to assert the creative independence of the woman artist through the centuries.
