Artemisia by Anna Banti
Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian Baroque painter, today considered one of the most accomplished painters in the generation following that of Caravaggio.Much in Gentileschi's life marked her out as a victim - rape at the age of 18, a forced marriage to a man she did not love and, a powerful, patriarchal father.
Anna Banti, pen name of Lucia Lopresti, was born in Florence in 1895. Like Artemisia Gentileschi, Anna Banti was always defined by a male mentor –in her case, her husband Roberto Longhi to whom 'Artemisia' is dedicated. Until his death in 1970, Anna Banti lived in Roberto Longhi’s shadow. Since then, like Artemisia, she has found an audience able to appreciate her genius in its own right. The dialogue between author and subject in Artemisia is one of the great literary conversations of our time.
