Join us for a close look at the aspirations and accomplishments of Artemisia Gentileschi.

ARTEMISIA GENTILESCHI (1593-1654) is the most celebrated woman artist of the Italian baroque. In a career that spanned more than four decades, she lived in Rome, Florence, as well as Naples, where she spent the last two decades of her life. Though widely admired during her lifetime, she fell into near oblivion in later eras as artistic tastes shifted from dramatic naturalism towards a more classicizing manner. Having been rediscovered some forty years ago, she is now enjoying a major revival. In this special program, art historian Aneta Georgievska-Shine looks more closely at her artistic and personal aspirations and accomplishments.Pre-registration is required for in-person attendance.Guests who are unable to attend in person may stream this event live on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChazenArtUW" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chazen Museum of Art Facebook page</a>.T﻿his lecture is inspired by Forward Theater&#x27;s World Premiere of <a href="https://forwardtheater.com/show/artemisia" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Artemisia</a>, a new play by Lauren Gunderson.A﻿bout Aneta Georgievska-Shine:ANETA GEORGIEVSKA-SHINE teaches in the Department of Art History, University of Maryland, College Park.
