Le chef-d’œuvre d’une femme: ‘Enfant Endormi’ d’Artemisia Gentileschi

27.04.2026 - 01.05.2026

On the occasion of the Monaco Art Week, Moretti Fine Art unveils a rare and exquisitely preserved copper painting by Artemisia Gentileschi: Sleeping Child (1630–1635). This intimate and masterful work offers a compelling insight into the artistic brilliance of one of the most important women painters of the 17th century.

The presentation is centered around Sleeping Child, a small oil on copper of remarkable refinement. Tracing its origins to 17th‑century Rome, the painting belonged to Prince Flavio Orsini and later to his wife, Anne‑Marie de La Trémoille, princesse des Ursins. Its presence in both of their posthumous inventories confirms its early importance.

While Artemisia is widely celebrated for her dramatic and monumental scenes, this intimate copper painting reveals a quieter dimension of her artistry. Its soft modelling, luminous surface, and emotional delicacy transform a simple sleeping infant into a poetic meditation on innocence and tenderness.

On the occasion of Monaco Art Week, Moretti Fine Art presents a refined selection of paintings by Italian Old Masters, inviting visitors to explore the richness of artistic production across several centuries.

Renowned for its commitment to academic research and connoisseurship, Moretti Fine

Art remains committed to highlighting the enduring relevance of Old Masters in the contemporary art world.

Ingeborg zu Schleswig-Holstein: And There Was Light

July 3 to 26

Moretti Fine Art in collaboration with Julian Solms presents the exhibition AndThere Was Light, featuring a dialogue between the incandescent, chromatic abstract compositions of Ingeborg zu Schleswig-Holstein and the gold-ground works of the masters Simone dei Crocifissi, Barnaba da Modena and Arrigo di Niccolò.
Separated by time, place and practice, but linked by a common preoccupation and an invocation of the ineffable, these paintings echo each other in surprising and remarkable ways.

Juxtaposing her works with gold-backed panels such as Saint Catherine of Alexandria (Barnaba da Modena) – whose eponymous saint is the patron saint of artists and women – the exhibition highlights the themes of creation and transcendence that lie at the heart of the artist’s work. It reflects a shared ambition to transcend matter and offer a glimpse of the eternal.

Part of the proceeds from this exhibition will be donated to the worldwide AMADE association, under the patronage of H.R.H. The Princess of Hanover.
