When her father arranges i marriage of convenience, Artemisia escapes from Rome to Florence where she discovers a vibrant life in seventeenth-century Italy, is befriended by Galileo, and finds a patron in Cosimo de' Medici II. But marriage clashes with her painterly talents and growing success, and Artemisia begins a lifelong search to rec-
