Despite deep personal challenges, Artemisia Gentileschi became a master painter in 17th-century Europe, a storyteller who brought a unique angle to her subjects, getting under their skin to bring them to life in paint.\xa0
A new exhibition, sponsored by Intesa Sanpaolo, explores Gentileschi\u2019s life and work for the first time in the UK.
Artemisia at the National Gallery fulfils the underlying objective of Intesa Sanpaolo\u2019s \u2018Progetto Cultura\u2019 \u2013 to promote Italy\u2019s artistic heritage beyond its national borders, in Europe and the rest of the world.
Listen to the podcast to hear art critic Alastair Smart, National Gallery curator Letizia Treves and Laurence Aliquot, Director of Promotion, Marketing and Cultural Partnerships at Intesa Sanpaolo, discuss highlights from Artemisia, the first major exhibition of the artist\u2019s work in the UK.\xa0
