Dictionary of Artists' Models (Hardcover)

The "Dictionary of Artists' Models" aims to be an extensive reference work to identify and contextualize the lives and art history of individual artist's models. Another aim is to provide a much-needed body of research that can serve both as a reference tool and also as a springboard for further investigation of this frequently neglected subject. This dictionary provides information on over 200 artists' models, from the Renaissance to the present day. Most entries are illustrated and consist of a short biography, a selected list of further reading, and a signed interpretive essay. Each essay includes information about the model's life, the artists that they sat for, and discusses their specific contribution to the artist's work. These essays, on models as diverse as Costanza della Sommaia Doni, Cadamour, and Elizabeth Hollander, and written by experts in their field, should give the reader a richer understanding of the model's relevance to art historical study.
