Description
Artemisia Gentileschi arrives in Florence seeking refuge for her art, but faces opposition from the powerful Accademia, who guard their magical art world with jealousy. As artists infuse their masterpieces with layer upon layer of magic drawn from their own life essence, each work takes on a power to heal or curse. Haunted by her past and fighting for every commission, Artemisia begins to win allies among luminaries such as Galileo Galilei, Cristina de' Medici, and Francesco Maria Maringhi. However, not everyone in Florence wants to see her succeed, and when an incendiary preacher turns his ire from Galileo to the art world, Artemisia must choose between revenge and her dream of creating a legacy that will span generations. In this sumptuous world of art and magic, Artemisia's journey is one of self-discovery, ambition, and the power of creativity.
