‘Fame, Fickle Fame: The Life and Art of Artemisia Gentileschi’

A presentation and conversation with Phoenix Art Museum docent Patrick Ventura

Tuesday, Jan. 14 | 10-11:30 a.m.

Artemisia Gentileschi knew what it was like to be famous, because she was famous in her lifetime. But she is not so famous these days. She is indisputably the greatest female artist of the Baroque Era, and some consider her to be one of the greats of all time. Let’s spend some time exploring her achievements.
