he painting is sometimes titled
as "Fame", but the absence of certain symbols associated with
Fame suggest that this more likely be Clio, the
muse of History. Artemisia's name and the year 1632 are visible on the open book at left.
t Naples, a city three times larger than Rome,
Artemisia had access to wealthy patrons and art collectors. Caravaggio, who
had lived in Naples in 1606-1607, introduced northern artists to the Neapolitans.
