nother in Artemisia's Pozzuoli series features
St. Januarius, Naples's popular patron saint who protected the city from volcanic
eruptions of Mt. Vesuvius. The painting shows him miraculously surviving wild animal
attack in the amphitheatre.
here is evidence of Artemisia's collaboration
with Viviano Codazzi, a Roman street painter who assisted with the landscape and
architecture after Artemisia completed the characters. Soon after this Neapolitan era,
Artemisia traveled to England.
