Artemisia steals a candle from the church.
With its dim light throwing shadows in her tiny room, she appraises the unique contours of her body. Then with the sophisticated eyes and the delicate hands of an artist, she quickly renders beautiful sketches of herself. Though the nuns would have liked to have disciplined her for unmanly interest and indecency, the young girl's talent is recognized by higher church officials who allow her to return to her father s home to study under him as an artists s apprentice. Her inspirational story, played beautifully by Valentina Cervi, is one of struggle, courage and triumph. Artemisia Gentileschi, born in 1592, sees everything with an artists eye.
