ARTEMISIA World Cinema

Ravishingly beautiful, this
sumptuous romance takes place in
seventeenth century Italy, and tells the
tale of 17 year old Artemisia, who
defies the conventions of her time and
pursues her passion for painting.
When she meets an arrogant artist
who offers to give her lessons, she
soon learns that the body is no longer
an object which one paints, but a
place of desire, suffering and
pleasure.
Passionate and vibrant,
ARTEMISIA is a feast for the senses,
made even more powerful by the fact
that it is based on a true story.
