Talk:Artemisia (film)

Controversy
I cleaned the whole article up a bit, putting the numerous quotations into blockquote tags. The controversy section was far too long, I replaced a longish quote from the Steinem/Garrard fact sheet with a link to the complete text, and removed quote from biography page that had nothing to do with the movie completely.—Austriacus (talk) 18:54, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Griselda Pollock's error about the daughters must be corrected
We have evidence that two of Artemisia's daughters survived to adulthood, Prudenzia and one other. We know this because Prudenzia got married in 1637 and in a letter Artemisia complains about how she has had to get a daughter settled in a marriage twice, in 1637 and 1649. If Prudenzia had been widowed and remarried in 1649 her mother would not have been responsible for paying her dowry, so it must be a different daughter. Mary Garrard believes this. The 1624 census lists only Prudenzia, so the daughter must've been born after 1624, and been old enough to marry in 1649. Artemisia writes that the daughter who married in 1649 could paint, and we know that Prudenzia could play the spinet and paint. Her daughters may have helped on her paintings. Pollock's statement about her teaching several daughters to paint is incorrect, when we only have evidence of two surviving daughters being taught to paint. The second daughter married a high-ranking knight who could only have married into a family claiming 4 quarters of nobility. So it is likely that the second daughter's father was not Artemisia's husband, but a high-ranking man, perhaps a patron of Artemisia. Her 94.197.30.140 (talk) 08:28, 23 July 2022 (UTC)


 * This is not relevant to the film, because the film is not a documentary. It is only relevant to the article on Gentileschi herself. Sbishop (talk) 09:17, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
