Based on actual documents, Artemisia mingles the dramatic biography of the great Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi with the stories of her paintings.

“Artemisia lasts just 80 minutes, but fits in big themes set to music of quivering intensity. The story of the rape is there, blended with Gentileschi’s unbearably compassionate painting of the biblical character Susanna, who was ogled and shamed in her bath. But larger questions of idea and form, image and projection, sight and gaze also find nuanced and intelligent treatment.”  — The New York Times
