Artemysia's Life and Work

In 1630, the bubonic plague took a huge toll on Venice and to escape the sickness Gentileschi moved to Naples. Around 1638 or 1639, she went to London to work with her father on the Queen's house for Queen Henrietta Maria. Artemysia stayed in London for a couple of more years, but as soon as she had work back in Italy, she went back to Naples. Most art scholars kind of regard her earlier works as her best work.
