Known for her series of paintings of ancient and Biblical heroines, Artemisia Gentileschi was one of the only successful and recognized female artists of her time. Through a comparison of Artemisia Gentileschi's Esther Before Ahasuerus and Paolo Veronese's painting of the same scene, this exhibition seeks to highlight the new perspective and feminist ethos Artemisia added to a famous Biblical story that had been painted time and time again before her.
