Ep. 11. ARTEMISIA, IRREPRESSIBLE: A conversation with Christopher Marshall

Art historian Christopher Marshall, University of Melbourne, talks passionately about Artemisia Gentileschi's remarkable success as a painter which resulted not only from her enormous talent but also her ability to respond astutely to the continuously evolving trends and challenges of the Italian Baroque art world. Artemisia Gentileschi built a successful four-decade career in a male-dominated field while her business acumen even influenced the resurrection of her reputation today: she has been transformed from a footnote of art history to a globally famous artist and feminist icon.Christopher Marshall reveals how her professional decisions shaped her career, style, and legacy based on his extensive research which culminated in his recent book, Artemisia Gentileschi and the Business of Art.
