Sheila Barker's Artemisia Gentileschi (2022) (part of a new series on #renaissance#women#artists) is a well presented synthesis of current #arthistory scholarship, without getting bogged down in the detail of disagreements about attribution(s). While there are more comprehensive books on Gentileschii, as a nuanced introduction to a major artist's career & achievement (leavened with biographical detail) this will be hard to beat.

"Alveus XR is the first online repository of historically themed 3D models. We incorporate collections of high-quality scientific virtual reconstructions to facilitate the disclosure of the past, and we enable 3D design professionals to use rigorous historical assets in their reconstructions, video games, or animated films.
Our historical objects (or assets) are organized into civilizations and these, in turn, are subdivided into collections. Each collection of assets refers to a specific cultural context (the Roman port; the Renaissance winery; etc.) and they organize the different 3D historical objects from our collection. These collections are not closed sets but rather groups of objects that will grow progressively as new pieces are added."
