Next to Caravaggio, no painter moves me like Artemisia Gentileschi. Not just her work which (for the early 17th century) was revolutionary in portraying fierce women, but her fearlessness in pursuing charges against her rapist despite knowing society would scorn her. A role model and total badass!

It’s almost daily to hear about it for women.
Might change if more women started fixing the problems themselves.
Just part of his plan and the ones that don't say anything are right there in it with him. Kind of like rape, gang rape in these times ...by "Lawless and Odor".
She is clearly better than Caravaggio.
BTW I saw this painting in person last year, and it is dramatically better in the pigment (as it where)
