Corisca and the Satyr. Private collection, Naples.
The story of Corisca comes from Battista Guarini's Il Pastor Fido. [The Faithful Shepherd]. The satyr captures the nymph Corisca to seduce her. However, she escapes because he grasps her by the hair of her wig, pulling it free from her scalp. Woman eludes a lustful man by stripping off surface decoration and fleeing with her honor intact.
This painting was misattributed to Neapolitan artist Massimo Stanzione before Artemisia's signature was discovered at right in the early 1990s.
