    Lovely Artemisia, one of the many great female painters the art establishment refused to acknowledge. Her only way into art was to be born into it. Women couldn't get into studios or schools to apprentice.

    A woman artist? A self-portrait of a woman artist? I imagine it was quite a provocative statement for its era
