This is an accessibly written, illustrated biography of Venetian
painter Rosalba Carriera (1673-1757), one of the most famous women
artists in 18th-century Europe. It presents an overview of her life
and work, considering Carriera's miniatures alongside her
better-known, larger-scale works. Focusing on interpretation of her
paintings in the historical context of her life as a single woman
in Venice, the book offers an easy guide through Carrieras life,
the people she met, her clients and her artistic approach. The
author's new iconographic analysis of some of Carriera's works
reveals that she was an erudite painter, drawing on antiquity as
well as the work of Renaissance virtuosos such as Leonardo da Vinci
and Paolo Veronese.
