A story of suffering, love and the triumph of talent - the scandalous and dramatic life of Artemisia Gentileschi, the most famous female artist in the history of Italy.
From extraordinary highs - the creation of beautiful and outstandingly original paintings, patronage by the Medicis, Galileo's friendship - to rape by her father's colleague, torture by the Inquisition, life-long struggles for professional acceptance and financial security, and betrayal by the men she loved, Artemisia was a bold and brilliant woman who lived as she wanted, and paid a high price.
Now Susan Vreeland brings her gripping and intensely moving story to passionate and vivid life.
