Artemisia: Artist, icon, entrepreneur

Artemisia: Artist, icon, entrepreneur

24 November, 10.30am - 12pm Online event. This event takes place on Zoom.

u3a members are invited to join the National Gallery to discover the art of Artemisia Gentileshi, who challenged conventions and defied expectations as a successful artist of the 17th-century, tackling subjects that were traditionally the preserve of male artists and for the male gaze.

National Gallery expert Kate Devine discusses the power of Gentileschi’s heroines and the artist as heroine of her own life and storyteller Fiona Alderton gives a spellbinding account of Artemisia’s extraordinary life.

The first hour of our session will include a lecture and Q&A session. After a short break, sit back and enjoy the drama.
