You might try one of the books on Artemisia Gentileschi... There's a few of them 'Artemisia; a novel' is rated four stars on Amazon.com. I read 'The Passion of Artemisia' a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it, but see that it's only rated 3.5 there.
Here's a link to a site that has a 'tour' of her paintings:
