Artemisia Gentileschi (Barker Sheila)(Pevná vazba)

This second volume in the groundbreaking Illuminating Women Artists series delves into the stirring life and work of the Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. The life of the Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) was as exceptional as her paintings. She was a child prodigy, raised without a mother by her artist father, a follower of Caravaggio, under whom she apprenticed. As a young woman, she was raped by her father's assistant and faced torture during her attacker's trial. Later, as she moved between Florence, Rome, Venice, Naples, and London, her artistic style evolved as she learned from the artworks and intellectuals she encountered, but throughout her career she specialized in powerful, nuanced portrayals of women. This gorgeously illustrated book traces Gentileschi's development through a focus on pivotal paintings such as Susanna and the Elders
