Aristarete
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aristarete or Aristareta (Ancient Greek: Ἀρισταρέτη) was an ancient Greek painter.[1] Little is known about her, including where and when she lived.[2][3]
Although none of her works are known to be extant, Pliny the Elder's Natural History mentions her work depicting Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine.[4] Pliny includes Aristarete in a list of six ancient Greek female artists, among which Timarete, Irene, and Calypso.
Pliny also writes that Aristarete was trained by her father, Nearchos.[5]
