Description
The hidden figures behind art history's masterpieces. Ruth Millington reveals the true stories of the muses who have inspired some of art history's most well-known and significant works. From the studio of Leonardo da Vinci to the covers of Vogue, Millington uncovers the remarkable role of muses in shaping art history. The perception of the muse is often one of a passive, powerless model, at the mercy of an influential artist. But this trope is far from accurate. Muses have brought emotional support, intellectual energy, and career-changing creativity to artists, playing an active and influential part in their work. Millington's book deconstructs reductive stereotypes, reframing the muse as a momentous and empowered agent of art history.
