The exhibition also contains an object that makes its curator, Letizia Treves, uneasy: a heavy book, its tissue-thin pages open to a record of a court case. These have echoes of Caravaggio, but an aggression that is all their own. In the second room hang her masterpieces: two huge canvases of Judith, another biblical heroine, sawing off the head of Holofernes, having been sent to seduce and kill him. There are depictions of the biblical character Susanna, caught bathing by two men, and Gentileschi’s self-portrait as Saint Catherine, posing with the wheel on which the martyr’s body was broken. The paintings on show include a significant proportion of wronged or vengeful women. This winter, she became the first woman in the 197-year history of Britain’s National Gallery to receive a solo exhibition. Even by the high standards of 17th-century Europe, her work is impressively sensuous, dynamic, and psychologically acute. Artemisia Gentileschi is a painter who makes you feel like a mind reader.

What he doesn’t need is a stunningly beautiful man with a dead body in his basement. He just wants to deliver the flower arrangement that has been sitting in his shop for nearly a week, before it costs him a hundred and eighty dollars he can’t afford to lose, not if he wants to keep the lights on.
