Artemisia Gentileschi Quotes
As long as i live i will have control over my being (Meaning)
My illustrious lordship, i’ll show you what a woman can do (Meaning)
I have made a solemn vow never to send my drawings because people have cheated me. In particular, just today I found… that, having done a drawing of souls in Purgatory for the Bishop of St. Gata, he, in order to spend less, commissioned another painter to do the painting using my work. If I were a man, I can’t imagine it would have turned out this way.
