Lucia of Syracuse (according to tradition 283-304) is a Christian martyr revered as a saint by Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians. She is the patron saint of the blind. She is the only Catholic saint also venerated by Lutherans in Scandinavia, in celebrations that have retained many pre-Christian elements of a yule feast for the solstice.
Artemisia Gentileschi (Rome, 8 July 1593 - Naples, c. 1656) was an Italian painter of the early Baroque period.
Gentileschi is known, among other things, for her use of chiaroscuro in the style of Caravaggio. The works from her early period, in Rome and Florence, appear more realistic with their flesh colours.
