Esta é a história verdadeira de Artemísia, a primeira mulher a ser aceite na prestigiada Academia de Artes de Florença. Violada pelo professor de pintura quando tinha 18 anos, leva-o a tribunal mas é ela quem acaba por ser humilhada publicamente. Abandonada pela própria família, a jovem decide partir à conquista do mundo numa época em que as senhoras respeitáveis raramente saíam de casa.

Sangue, sexo, arte e dinheiro, a história de Artemísia podia ser a história de uma mulher dos nossos tempos. Depois de um casamento de conveniência com um pintor medíocre que inveja o seu talento, a jovem é forçada a sustentar-se não só a si mas também à sua filha. Cruzando-se com Galileu e ganhando o patronato dos Medici, Artemísia faz explodir o seu génio no auge do Renascimento e, ao recusar-se a ser menos do que os homens, torna-se numa heroína intemporal.]]> 98048 20 2003391 31 12 2002 The Passion of Artemisia total:1421|5:301|4:561|3:462|2:84|1:13| 1421 5316 1873 187 11075 3.58 6322 1092 73653516 2566891 98048 0142001821 9780142001820 172 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886m/98048.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886s/98048.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/98048.The_Passion_of_Artemisia 3.76 1289 2002 4 0 false Mon Oct 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 13:10:55 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 13:32:52 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 51041079 560733 98048 0142001821 9780142001820 172 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886m/98048.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886s/98048.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/98048.The_Passion_of_Artemisia 3.74 1421 2002 4 0 false Wed Apr 15 17:13:13 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 11:17:41 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 17:13:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 80117577 3016030 98048 0142001821 9780142001820 172 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886m/98048.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886s/98048.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/98048.The_Passion_of_Artemisia 3.74 1421 2002 0 0 false Mon Nov 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 06 18:02:09 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 06 18:04:08 -0800 2009 more...]]> 59069818 650863 98048 0142001821 9780142001820 172 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886m/98048.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886s/98048.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/98048.The_Passion_of_Artemisia 3.74 1421 2002 2 0 false Mon Jun 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 17:50:46 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 18:49:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 53341296 2018213 98048 0142001821 9780142001820 172 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886m/98048.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886s/98048.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/98048.The_Passion_of_Artemisia 3.74 1421 2002 4 0 false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 20 09:12:57 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 09:19:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 37590693 1308232 98048 0142001821 9780142001820 172 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886m/98048.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171406886s/98048.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/98048.The_Passion_of_Artemisia 3.74 1421 2002 3 0 false Mon Nov 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 21:59:00 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 22:24:11 -0800 2008 Aspects that make me lean toward 5 stars:

Although the novel purports to cover the life of the painter, the painting serves as a touchstone, foreshadowing Artemisia's rape by Agostino Tassi, an assistant in her father's painting studio in Rome; the well-documented (and humiliating) trial that followed; the early days of her hastily arranged marriage; and her eventual triumph as the first woman elected to the Accademia dell' Arte in Florence. Although Vreeland makes a bit free with her characters (which she admits in her introduction), attributing some decidedly modern attitudes to people who would not have thought that way at the time, her book is beautifully researched and rich with casual detail of clothing, interiors, and street life. She deftly works history and politics into the background of her canvas, keeping her focus on Artemisia and her family. Beyond the paintings Artemisia left behind, Vreeland's vision may be as close as we can come to understanding the anger and ambition that kept this talented woman at the doors of the Accademia, demanding entrance, in a time when respectable women rarely left their homes. --Regina Marler]]> 2002 4 0 false Sat Feb 21 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 09 03:19:44 -0800 2007 Mon Feb 23 02:50:06 -0800 2009
