In this fierce and empowering Artist Snapshot, Art Happens dives into the life of Artemisia Gentileschi, the Baroque painter who shattered expectations and refused to be silenced.

From a brutal trial that tried to break her to the creation of her electrifying masterpiece Judith Slaying Holofernes, Artemisia transformed trauma into artistic rebellion. Her canvases didn’t just depict women — they armed them with strength, agency, and fire.

Join us as we explore how Artemisia fought back against a male-dominated art world, reclaimed her story through paint, and became a timeless symbol of resilience and creative power.

Final Stroke: Artemisia painted survival — and made vengeance beautiful.
