Artemisia will become part of you,
By FateDancer (Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Artemisia: The Story of a Battle for Greatness (Hardcover)
Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian Early Baroque painter, today considered one of the most accomplished painters in the generation influenced by Caravaggio. In an era when women painters were not easily accepted by the artistic community, she was the first female painter. This book is a research in Artemisia's life and though it is a little bit fictioned it does leave a footprint in your heart that few other books do. It describes the life in Italy of a woman in those ages, the struggle of an artist and a genius, the difficult relationship that often men have with their daughters from the dawn of time. Artemisia and her story will touch you deeply in your creativity and in your admiration for the women that did make the difference for many of us in History.
