Orazio Gentileschi worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Orazio Gentileschi as Italian painter (1563–1639).
Orazio Gentileschi was born at Pisa in 1563.
This was the period in which the artist became an individual with a signature, a reputation and a price.
He worked as painter.
His recorded movement is mannerism.
Among his best-known works are Diana the Huntress, Rest on the Flight into Egypt and Public Felicity Triumphant over Dangers. An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
Orazio Gentileschi died in 1639, aged 76. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
