#ArtemesiaGentileschi, #ItalianBaroque, #MeToo

Hi, YouTube. Welcome back to another segment of Awesome Art Stories. Today’s focus is a continued look at Renaissance female artists: Artemesia Gentileschi, the Italian Baroque feminist painter. Like Anguissola, Gentileschi is very close to our generation because of her concerns with similar issues that plague society today – gender inequality, violence, economic survival. Gentileschi was born decades after Anguissola, so context was different – something we will touch on in part 2 of "ARTEMESIA GENTILESCHI, ITALIAN BAROQUE FEMINIST".

This discussion has reveals how Artemesia Gentileschi was caught up in her own #MeToo movement, because of lack of status in Renaissance Rome, where, without a mom, or female family, she felt alienated. Hope you find this video informative and inspiring. If you are an artist experiencing trauma for whatever reason, do NOT give up!
