Artemisia in London | Artemisia | National Gallery

At the royal invitation of King Charles I, Artemisia made the long and difficult journey from Italy to London.
Join Ellice Stevens, the actor who plays Artemisia in the stage production of 'It's True, It's True, It's True', as she learns about Artemisia’s time in London, and how she likely produced one of her most intriguing self portraits there.

In 17th-century Europe, at a time when women artists were not easily accepted, Artemisia was exceptional. She challenged conventions and defied expectations to become a successful artist and one of the greatest storytellers of her time.

In this first major exhibition of Artemisia’s work in the UK, see her best-known paintings including two versions of her iconic and viscerally violent ‘Judith beheading Holofernes’; as well as her self portraits, heroines from history and the Bible, and recently discovered personal letters, seen in the UK for the first time.
