Artemisia is a beautiful, stirring, and exotic French film that provides an enthralling meditation on the life, work, and imagination of the first woman in Europe to be recognized as a painter. Artemisia Gentileschi, the beautiful and talented daughter of one of Italy's greatest painters, is forbidden to fully pursue her own passion for painting. When she convinces a renowned and unconventional artist to tutor her, however, he not only liberates her in the world of art, but initiates her into the treacherous world of sex and love.
