Paperback. Condición: New. Lives of Artemisia Gentileschi presents a fascinating look at the famous Baroque artist. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) was an Italian painter known for the naturalism with which she depicted the female body and her use of rich colours and chiaroscuro. Born in Rome, she was trained by her father, the painter Orazio Gentileschi, and was working professionally by the time she was a teenager. In a period when women artists very rarely achieved success in their field, she was commissioned by royalty across Europe and was the first woman to become a member of Florence's prestigious Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, later becoming an educator in the arts. Lending further insight into the extraordinary life of this trailblazing artist, this volume presents an absorbing collection of letters, biographies, and court testimonies supplemented with essays written by contemporaries, several of which are published here in English for the first time. The vivid illustrations include three works that have only recently been attributed to Gentileschi. An introduction by Sheila Barker, founding director of the Jane Fortune Research Program on Women Artists, contextualises these texts and discusses Gentileschi's legacy.…

A good, unsophisticated copy in contemporary vellum, ms title to spine, all edges blue. First edition, second issue, of this controversial work on the dignity and nobility of women. Cristofano Bronzini (c.1580-1640) was advisor to Cardinal Carlo de' Medici, and renowned for his literary and social skills in Roman ecclesiastical circles. Begun in 1618, 'Della Dignita' was his major literary work, never published in its entirety. It was meant to include 4 weeks of 6 days each, for a total of 24 parts. The first ed. of 1622 - immediately entered into the Index of Prohibited Books - included the first three days of week 1; 5 other parts were issued until 1632. A second issue was printed in 1624, with the addition of a letter from the printer and one from the author reassuring the readers that Catholic orthodoxy was being respected. As part of the 'Querelle des Femmes' debate, Bronzino's work presents, in dialogic form, numerous observations on the physical, spiritual, and intellectual characteristics of women, exchanged between gentlewomen and gentlemen in the Medici's Roman gardens. A major difference to previous such works is his use of sources written by women, e.g., Lucrezia Marinella, to strengthen their literary authority (pp.15-16). Examples are taken from antiquity to the early modern period, and include women of valour (e.g., Lucretia), writers (e.g., Sappho), and political women such as the dedicatee, the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, praised for her prudence, intelligence, and skills. Among the most interesting observations are those on the status of women, and wives, in relation to men, and husbands, with the help of Aristotle's 'Politics'. Bronzini decries the 'tyrannical insolence' of men who desire to be served by their wives, sisters, and even their mothers, so much so that they behave like masters towards their servants, whilst criticising the theory stating that the essence of womanhood lies in serving one's husband.
