An interview with exhibition curator Letizia Treves on 'Artemisia' at the National Gallery in London,
with Linda Falcone, author and project coordinator at Calliope Arts

"A woman's name raises doubts, until her work is seen..." Artemisia Gentileschi wrote in a 1649 letter. Some 370 years later, the world is finally ready to see her art as never before. Britain's first major monographic on the artist spans her 40-year career, including her first and last works – both Susanna and the Elders – the first of which she painted at age 17. Simply titled 'Artemisia', the exhibition explores an artist who is growing into her name, when it comes to recognition amongst the modern-day museum-going public.
