Examined through the lens of cutting-edge scholarship, Artemisia
Gentileschi clears a pathway for non-specialist audiences to
appreciate the artist's pictorial intelligence, as well as her
achievement of a remarkably lucrative and high-profile career.
Bringing to light recent archival discoveries and newly attributed
paintings, this book highlights Gentileschi's enterprising and
original engagement with emerging feminist notions of the value and
dignity of womanhood. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Artemisia
Gentileschi brings to life the extraordinary story of this Italian
artist, placing her within a socio-historical context. Sheila
Barker weaves the story with in-depth discussions of key artworks,
examining them in terms of their iconographies and technical
characteristics in order to portray the developments in
Gentileschi's approach to her craft and the gradual evolution of
her expressive goals and techniques.
