Maria Mack D'Amario on Artemesia Gentileschi
In advance of the opening at the much awaited exhibition at the National Gallery, join us to hear insights on the life and art of Artemesia Gentileschi by Maria Mack D'Amario.
In 2018, the National Gallery acquired a rare and recently discovered self-portrait by the renowned Baroque painter, Artemisia Gentileschi. This new national treasure will be the springboard for the first major UK exhibition of Gentileschi’s work opening (after a Covid-triggered delay) on 3 October.
Despite the many structural challenges and personal obstacles faced by this 17th century artist, Artemisia Gentileschi became an international success and one of the period’s greatest storytellers. Join us and guest speaker Maria Mack D’Amario to explore her life and work, and examine some of her most iconic paintings of Old Testament heroines, self-portraits and the mural work executed with her father at the Court of Charles I at Queen’s House.
Maria D’Amario is an art historian specializing in European decorative arts and the American Gilded Age. A graduate of Denison University (Ohio), Maria holds a post-graduate diploma in the History of Art from the University of Oxford, and a Masters in the Venetian Renaissance from the University of Warwick. Maria served as a trustee and steering committee member of the U.K. Friends of the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
