The Monty Python star sets off on a quest to investigate the story of little-known 17th-century Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi after one of her paintings caught his eye. Michael encounters her work in Florence, Rome and Naples, and finds out about her life as a working mother and her ultimate success against all odds as a great painter of the Baroque age who transformed the way women were depicted in art, and who was sought after in many courts across Europe.
