Artemisia will not open as originally planned on 4th April 2020 due to current global travel restrictions. The National Gallery hopes to open the exhibition as soon as possible but has not given a specific date. As part of a recent effort to put the spotlight on history's greatest female artists, The National Gallery hosts the UK's first major exhibition on Artemisia Gentileschi, who is widely considered Europe's greatest female Old Master. The first woman to gain membership to the artists' academy, Artemisia became known for weaving her personal life into her art with a rape when she was 17 years old and a resulting gruelling court case leading to a number of powerful self portraits in which the artist takes on several roles. The exhibition comes following the gallery's recent purchase of her Self Portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandria and will put around 35 works from public and private collections on display.
About National Gallery
The National Gallery dominates London's Trafalgar Square with its neo-classical columns and portico designed by William Wilkins adjoining the square on its east side where it has been pedestrianised. Some of the finest examples of European art, ranging from 1260 to 1900, are included among the 2,300 paintings filling its halls and rooms. More about National Gallery
