Artemisia Gentileschi, “ Autoritratto come Allegoria della Pittura ”, 1638/39,
olio su tela, 98.6 x 75.2 cm, Kensington Palace, Londra
" If something speaks to you tell you're not a painter, well, in this case, old chap: paint! And this voice will be silent. But if you paint only be silent. Who, hearing this voice, ranging from friends to complain, to tell them about his concerns, he loses a bit 'of his strength manly, a bit 'of the best in him. You can be friends only those who fight against these same concerns, those with the example of their activities, enhance the activity in you "
(Vincent Van Gogh)
