Heftet utgave 2023. - Artemisia and the writers: feminism in early modern Europe -- Sexuality and sexual violation: Susanna and Lucretia -- The fictive self: musicians and the Magdalenes -- Women and political power: Judith -- Battle of the sexes: women on top -- The divided self: allegorical and real -- Matriarchal succession: the Greenwich ceiling.. - Artemisia Gentileschi is by far the most famous woman artist of the pre-modern era. Her art addresses issues that resonate today, such as sexual violence and women's problematic relationship to political power. Her powerful paintings with their vigorous female protagonists chime with modern audiences, and she is celebrated by feminist critics and scholars. This book breaks new ground by placing Gentileschi in the context of women's political history. Mary D. Garrard shows that Gentileschi most likely knew or knew about contemporary writers such as the Venetian feminists Lucrezia Marinella and Arcangela Tarabotti. She discusses recently discovered paintings, offers fresh perspectives on known works and examines the artist anew in the context of feminist history. This beautifully illustrated book gives a full portrait of a strong woman artist who fought back through her art.
