Product Description
Review
"An interesting book [that] certainly contributes to our further understanding and appreciation of the outstanding achievements of Artemesia Gentileschi." -- The Art Book
Book Description
Mary D. Garrard, author of the acclaimed Artemisia Gentileschi, furthers her study of the seventeenth-century artist in this groundbreaking investigation of two little-known paintings. Taking as case studies the Seville Mary Magdalene and the Burghley House Susanna and the Elders, paintings of circa 1621-22 attributed to Artemisia, Garrard examines the ways that identity, gender, and market pressures interact both in the artist's work and in the criticism and connoisseurship that have surrounded it.

Not for the beginner, Feb 12 2005
By D. L. Brash "Larry Brash" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Artemisia Gentileschi around 1622: The Shaping and Reshaping of an Artistic Identity (Paperback)
If you are wanting to discover more about one of history's greatest and most dramatic female artists, then this is not the book that would be the best starting point. Earlier works by Mary D. Garrard, such as her "Artemisia Gentileschi" (1989), would suit the new reader much better.Garrard, in the current book, examines just two paintings, a Magdalen and a Susanna & the Elders, in great detail, dissecting their attributions on stylistic, historical, and radiographic grounds. As in her previous work, she takes a strong pro-feminist view and replies to many of her feminist critics.
It is not an easy-reading book, nor was it intended to be. However, it is a must for the hard-core Artemisia fan.
