Aristarete (Greek: Ἀρισταρέτη) (or Aristareté, Aristareta) was an ancient Greek painter. Little is known about her, including where and when she lived.[1] Although none of her works are known to be extant, Pliny the Elder's Natural History contains mention of hers depicting Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine.[2] Pliny includes Aristarete in a list of six ancient Greek female artists. He also writes that Aristarete was trained by her father, Nearchos.[2]
