Infatuated, Artemisia obtains permission to learn perspective from Agostino. But what the worldly and lustful master will teach his young student, filled with volcanic yet innocent desires, is the supreme embrace of two bodies that are no loner objects to be represented on canvas, but the living seat of pleasure and pain. Crushed by the scandal, drunk with fatherly rage, Orazio offers his daughter as a sacrifice to the court and institutes proceedings against Agostino for rape.
Sickened and deeply wounded by her father’s ruthlessness, at once the victim and the accused, finds her strength in art, immortalizing her passion and her tragic story in the most famous of her paintings, Judith Decapitating Holofernes.
The extraordinary odyssey of one of the most celebrated woman artists in history, Artemisia is a mesmerizing historical panorama and a liberal interpretation of the Golden Globe-nominated film by Agnès Merlet.
