First published in 1953, Artemisia is a classic of 20th century
Italian literature. From its first publication in 1953, Artemisia,
a novel about Artemisia Gentileschi, an iconic 17th century
painter, by Anna Banti, a brilliant Italian art historian,
established itself as a feminist masterpiece. Like Penelope
Fitzgerald's The Blue Flower and Marguerite Yourcenar's Memoirs of
Hadrian, Artemisia is a book about the process of artistic
creation. Much in Gentileschi's life marked her out as a victim -
rape at the age of 18, a forced marriage to a man she did not love
and, a powerful, patriarchal father, Orazio Gentileschi, who failed
to value her artistic genius. But Gentileschi did not accept the
status of victim, in the years between 1610 and 1650, she produced
over 50 paintings that have established her as one of the great
painters of all time. She gave up everything - "all tenderness, all
claim to feminine virtues" to dedicate herself solely to painting.
Sacrifices that Anna Banti, herself an artist, fully understands
and captures in this amazing novel.
