Talk:Artemisia Gentileschi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WikiProject Echo has identified Artemisia Gentileschi as a foreign language featured article. You may be able to improve this article with information from the Italian language Wikipedia.

I am afraid that the sentence She was also the first female artist to paint history and religious paintings, at a time when such heroic themes were considered beyond a mere woman's reach is not true. I know at least two Italian woman painters that lived before Artemisia Gentileschi that painted religious subjects. Their names are Sofonisba Anguissola (1532-1625) and Lavinia Fontana (1552-1614). It’s possible to find out some of their religious painting by means of ARTCYCLOPEDIA (http://www.artcyclopedia.com)

[edit] disambiguation

Someone should create a disambiguation page for "Gentileschi" so that a search for that name doesn't automatically redirect to Artemisia Gentileschi but a page listing both her and her father. I'd do this myself, but I don't know how to.

Well, that wasn't hard. --Sophitus 11:16, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New Article

Art is hard but someone has to do it. ;)

As requested in the Wikipedia:Translation into English page, I translated the Italian Wikipedia document into english and replaced the old one. The old one was adequate, but the new one is much more detailed and full of information. Please note that even if I know something about art, I am in no way an expert. I simply translated the text from Italian to English. If you find something incorrect, edit it!

Also, I was not able to translate some Italian Art Jargon into English, like "chiaroscuro" for example. Maybe there are some typos left there and there, but hey, I'm not perfect (yet) ;)--Itaguy 21:58, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
