TOArtemisia Gentileschi in Naples recounts the years – from 1630 to 1654 – in which the painter lived in the Neapolitan city, a fundamental chapter in the art and in the painter’s biographical story.
In fact, he set up a thriving shop and made use of the collaboration, or simply interacted, with the best local artists, from Massimo Stanzione to Onofrio Palumbo to Bernardo Cavallino, some of whom are present in the exhibition.
The exhibition will present a careful selection of works from public and private, Italian and international collections. An important opportunity to update scientific studies on the subject.
