An important reassessment of the later career and life of a beloved baroque artistHailed as one of the most influential and expressive painters of the seventeenth century, Artemisia Gentileschi (1593ca. 1656) has figured prominently in the art historical discourse of the past two decades. This attention to Artemisia, after many years of scholarly neglect, is partially due to interest in the dramatic details of her early life, including the widely publicized rape trial of her painting tutor, Agostino Tassi, and her admission to Florences esteemed Accademia del Disegno. While the artists early paintings have been extensively discussed, her later work has been largely dismissed.This beautifully illustrated and elegantly written book provides a revolutionary look at Artemisias later career, refuting longstanding assumptions about the artist. The fact that she was semiilliterate has erroneously led scholars to assume a lack of literary and cultural education on her part. Stressing the importance of orality in Baroque culture and in Artemisias paintings, Locker argues for her important place in the cultural dialogue of the seventeenth century.
