About This Item
New York: Grove Press, 2000.
8vo. 230 x 150 mm., [9 ¼ x 6 inches]. xvi, 427 pp.. Illustrated with 8 color plates. Publisher's cloth, dust jacket. Very good copy.
First American edition. My aunt Iris, who at the age of 93 read and reviewed this work, wrote the following: "Artemisia brought to life by a very exceptional writer, who wrote a portrait of a love/hate respect and devotion, even sweet revenge -- driven by father and daughters extraordinary talent, using their craft off each other. Unforgettable."
I also recommend this book for its exploration of the life and work of one of most important 17th century woman artists, who recently had her first solo show in the United States. The author includes over 90 pages of notes on her subject, which support her story and add to our understanding of Artemisia Gentileschi and the era in which she lived. (917)
