Artemisia Gentileschi - anyone been to the National Gallery exhibition yet?

Not normally my thing but she sounds fascinating !

Unapologetically poses a Daily Mail link

Oops - will ask MNHQ to move this to Chat

I agree, I've been googling her recently after seeing it in TV and love her name lol.
Unfortunately I'm unlikely to get to the National Gallery anytime soon!

I’ve booked a ticket - hopefully covid means National Gallery won’t be cramming them in

I've been dropping hints to the other half that I'd like to go for my birthday. Not sure about the train journey in though

I've been to the National Gallery for other things (Titian on Monday) and they manage the queueing and social distancing very well. So if you can travel at a quiet time, well worth going. Trafalgar Square is very quiet.

Ooh - I’m going to the Titian one as well (not the same day)! Was the exhibition itself good?

Don’t normally go to art galleries but lockdown made me realise all that London has to offer that I hadn’t been taking advantage of. And I don’t want to lose the feeling!
