Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (c.1606-1669) was the most
talked-about painter of the 17th-century - and quite possibly of
the following centuries too. His prodigious talent, extraordinary
emotional truth, and reckless disregard of artistic convention
astonished, delighted and often dismayed his contemporaries; and
the full gamut of these reactions is revealed in the three early
biographies published here for the first time in their entirety in
English. Sandrart, a German painter and writer on painting,
actually knew Rembrandt in Amsterdam; Baldinucci, also an artist
contemporary with Rembrandt, was one of the greatest early
connoisseurs of prints; and Arnold Houbraken, who studied under
some of Rembrandt's pupils, wrote the earliest major biographical
account of the artists of Holland. These extraordinary documents
give a vivid picture of Rembrandt's shattering impact on the art
world of his time - not only as a painter, but as a supremely
successful manipulator of the market, a dangerous example to the
young, and an unavoidable challenge to any sense of decorum and
rule-giving. Rooted firmly in the 17-century realities of
Rembrandt's life, they bring into sharper focus the qualities of
originality and psychological acuity that remain Rembrandt's
trademark to this day. The introduction by Charles Ford situates
these biographies in the context of 17th-century appreciation of
art, and the trajectory of Rembrandt's career. The translations
have been specially prepared for this edition by Charles Ford,
aided by Ulrike Kern and Francesca Migliorini, and in part
following the work of Tancred Borenius.

Lives of Artemisia Gentileschi presents a fascinating look at the
famous Baroque artist. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) was an
Italian painter known for the naturalism with which she depicted
the female body and her use of rich colours and chiaroscuro. Born
in Rome, she was trained by her father, the painter Orazio
Gentileschi, and was working professionally by the time she was a
teenager. In a period when women artists very rarely achieved
success in their field, she was commissioned by royalty across
Europe and was the first woman to become a member of Florence's
prestigious Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, later becoming an
educator in the arts. Lending further insight into the
extraordinary life of this trailblazing artist, this volume
presents an absorbing collection of letters, biographies, and court
testimonies supplemented with essays written by contemporaries,
several of which are published here in English for the first time.
The vivid illustrations include three works that have only recently
been attributed to Gentileschi. An introduction by Sheila Barker,
founding director of the Jane Fortune Research Program on Women
Artists, contextualises these texts and discusses Gentileschi's
legacy.
