Book Review of The Passion of Artemisia

The Passion of Artemisia
reviewed on + 44 more book reviews


I honestly was completely unaware of the existence of this female painter until I read this book. It is an amazing story of a woman that battled the stereotypes of what or who a painter was during the Renaissance. This book actually prompted me to do a search online and it is amazing the amount of paintings by Artemisia that are in museums and private collections. How could so little be known about the life and talent of someone so brilliant..
