Medea is an oil painting by the Italian baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Medea was a figure from Greek mythology. In the Gentileschi painting Medea is depicted at the moment she kills her son.[1]

The location and the dimensions of the painting are unknown. The painting has been approximately dated to the 1620s, probably the late 1620s when Gentileschi was working in Venice.[2] The work was exhibited for the first time as a Gentileschi in the 2017 "Artemisia Gentileschi e il suo tempo" exhibition in Rome.[3]
