Ideal for readers interested in art history, women's studies, and Baroque painting, as well as those seeking to discover the impact of a pivotal female artist in a male-dominated era.
Artemisia Gentileschi, widely regarded as important woman artist before the modern period, was a major Italian Baroque painter of the seventeenth century and the only female follower of Caravaggio. This work shows that her original treatments of mythic-heroic female subjects depart radically from traditional interpretations of the same themes.
