Artemisia

This was the best exhibition I have been to for a long time, the paintings are awe-inspiring, and, thanks too social distancing, you can actually see them properly if you can get a ticket. The Catalogue does the exhibition justice.

Beyond the excellent reproductions of Artemisia's paintings, I very much appreciated the essays in this book. They, especially the first one, not only advance our knowledge of the painter's life and work, they very properly acknowledge the relatively little we know and point quite clearly to the great deal of research that still needs to be done. Pointing out the shortcomings of current research in any field is indeed - and unfortunately - rare. Looking to the real possibility of further knowledge is encouraging and exciting in every respect.

As it was not possible to visit this first exhibition of Artemisia Gentilleschi in the UK, due to the pandemic, it was a joy to receive this catalogue. It’s full of stunning illustrations and articles about her life and work. Amazing value for such a gorgeous book!

Best study and presentation yet of this amazing artist.

Full of excellent pictures and useful commentary.

Great book perfect gift
