Immerse yourself in the life of Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the first female painters in history, in this novel by Susan Vreeland. The young Artemisia struggles to assert her talent in a world dominated by men, facing personal and professional challenges that will test her determination. From the patronage of the Medicis to friendship with Galileo, and from abuse and torture to artistic recognition, this is the story of a bold and brilliant woman who lived by her own rules and paid a high price for it.
Susan Joyce Vreeland was an American author. Several of her books deal with the relationship between art and fiction. The Passion of Artemisia is a fictionalized investigation of some aspects of the life of Artemisia Gentileschi, while Girl in Hyacinth Blue centers round an imaginary painting by Vermeer. The Forest Lover is a fictionalized account of the life of the Canadian painter Emily Carr.
