🇫🇷 Paris | Musée Jacquemart-André 🎨✨

Why You Should Remember Her 👑 Baroque’s Fiercest Woman: Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–1656), a trailblazing artist who painted heroic women (Judith, Cleopatra) with unmatched drama and emotion—despite a male-dominated era. Rare Masterpieces: This Paris show (Mar 19–Aug 3, 2025) features higher-quality works than previous exhibitions, including pieces by her father, Orazio. Chiaroscuro Queen: Her light/shadow play and micro-expressions will leave you breathless—especially "Judith Beheading Holofernes" (the blood sprays feel real 💥). Fun Fact: Artemisia’s rape trial at 18 fueled her art’s raw power—she testified while being tortured. Visitor Notes 📝 ✔ Must-See: "Self-Portrait as Allegory of Painting"—her defiant stare challenges the patriarchy. 👁️ ✔ Gripes: Crowded rooms (weekends = sardine mode). Mystery lighting obscures details (bring patience!). ✔ Silver Lining: The museum’s gilded salons distract from flaws. #ArtemisiaRising #WomenInArt #BaroqueBadass
