Description
Mary D. Garrard, author of the acclaimed Artemisia Gentileschi, furthers her study of the seventeenth-century artist in this ground-breaking investigation of two little-known paintings. Taking as case studies the Seville Mary Magdalene and the Burghley House Susanna and the Elders, paintings of circa 1621-22 attributed to Artemisia, Garrard examines the ways that identity, gender, and market pressures interact both in the artist's work and in the criticism and connoisseurship that have surrounded it.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critics praise Garrard's book for challenging traditional art history perspectives. Irving Lavin highlights how the book reveals Gentileschi's personality through her subjects and style, positioning her as a major visual thinker of her era rather than merely a 'good woman painter.' George Hersey lauds Garrard's work as a brilliant culmination of her efforts to establish Gentileschi's greatness, full of the sharp insight reminiscent of the artist herself.
