ARTEMISIA (1597— after 1651), Orazio's daughter,. studied first under Guido Reni, acquired much renown for portrait-painting, and considerably excelled her father's fame. She was a beautiful and elegant woman; her likeness, painted by her own hand, is to be seen in Hampton Court. Her most celebrated composition is "Judith and Holofernes," in the Uffizi gallery, Florence, certainly a work of singular energy, but repulsive in its physical horror. She went to England about 1638 and painted many portraits there. Artemisia refused an offer of marriage from Agostino Tassi, and bestowed her hand on Pier Antonio Schiattesi, continuing, however, to use her own surname. She settled in Naples, whither she returned from England, and was commissioned to paint three pictures for the cathedral of Pozzuoli.
