Reviews

“This catalogue not only presents us with pictures of her paintings (including a number that are not in this exhibition), but also with images of works by her art-historical influencers as well as close-ups and x-radiographic revelations.”—Rachel Campbell-Johnston, The Times ‘Best Art Books of the Year 2020’
 
 
 

“This Baroque painter put herself on the front lines of her dramatic tableaux. This catalog’s new scholarship reveals how Gentileschi blended self-portraiture and allegory . . . There is much more to Gentileschi than the violence she depicted: This book also reproduces recently discovered letters to a lover, swearing, ‘I am yours as long as I draw breath.’”—Jason Farago, New York Times (“Best Art Books of 2020”)

“Gentileschi was a celebrity in her own lifetime who achieved autonomous success in a field monopolized by men, thanks to her extraordinary talent, invention and personal resilience. This covetable volume contains a catalogue of her pictures and six exemplary, jargon free essays casting light on how she became the most celebrated woman artist of the age.”—Elizabeth Lowry, Times Literary Supplement 'Books of the Year'

“The published catalogue is a compulsive purchase for its wealth of illustration, information and interpretation.”—Sean Sheehan, Glass Magazine

“Through the careful interpretation of documentary sources and astute analysis of Artemisia's paintings, enriches our understanding of this 'extraordinary artist who led an extraordinary life"—Aoife Brady, The Burlington Magazine
