Seventeen-year-old Artemesia (Valentine Cervi), the beautiful daughter of well-known painter Orazio Gentileschi (Michel Serrault), is refused admission to the Academy of Fine Arts because she is a female, and is forbidden to work from nude male models. Nevertheless, Orazio recognizes that his daughter's talent exceeds his own, and becomes determined to encourage her. When renowned artist Agostino Tassi (Miki Manojlovic) comes to collaborate with Orazio on a series of religious frescoes, Artemesia is astonished by his arrogance and profligate lifestyle, and he by her youth, beauty and talent. At her father's behest, Agostino reluctantly agrees to teach Artemisia the latest innovation in painting: perspective. But little by little the relationship between teacher and student takes on another form. Set in Italy during the early seventeenth century, Agnes Merlet's staggeringly beautiful new film features ravishing sets and costumes, and wonderfully passionate performances from its cast.
