In 2019, the Opificio delle Pietre Dure determined that this artist originally intended to include a turban in a painting of Saint Catherine. The “shaping and reshaping” of this artist’s identity titles a biography by Mary Garrard, who argued for autobiographical readings of this artist’s paintings. While in England, this artist was inspired by the Iconologia of Cesare (“CHEZ-ah-ray”) Ripa to create a self-portrait as the “Allegory of Painting.” A maidservant in a painting by this artist appears younger than in an earlier 1599 depiction by a different artist and is shown holding down a man to help the title woman cut off his head. For 10 points, name this artist whose “Power of Women” paintings include a bloody depiction of Judith Slaying Holofernes. ■END■
ANSWER: Artemisia Gentileschi [or Artemisia Lomi Gentileschi; accept Artemisia Gentileschi around 1622: The Shaping and Reshaping of an Artistic Identity] (The earlier depiction of Judith Slaying Holofernes is by Caravaggio.)
