Description
Rome 1611. A city of change, with sumptuous new palaces and lavish wealth on display. Artemisia Gentileschi dreams of becoming a great artist, but her future is determined by her family and the law. She is a survivor, and this is her story. Artemisia's life is one of art and rebellion, as she navigates the patriarchal world of 17th-century Italy. With the help of a mysterious tutor, she finds the courage to forge her own path and create the art that truly reflects her vision. This is a gripping tale of revenge, ambition, and the power of women to overcome adversity. With lush, evocative prose, Elizabeth Fremantle brings 17th-century Italy to life in a story that is both heartbreaking and empowering.
