(14831) Gentileschi
Artemisia Gentileschi (c. 1593–c. 1656), the only daughter of the Italian painter Orazio Gentileschi, became famous herself through paintings such as Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting and frieze Inclinazione. Her paintings of powerful women struggling against male dominance were not appreciated by the male aristocracy.Discovered 22 January 1987 by E. W. Elst, La Silla
