Synopsis
The Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi and her father Orazio, also an artist, are the subjects of La Pierre's novel set in 17th-century Italy. Artemisia's story begins when she is raped and insists on having her attacker prosecuted: as a result, her close relationship with her father falls apart, not to be mended for many years. Throughout all her trials, however, which include a forced marriage, Artemisia continues to paint, ultimately becoming one of the earliest recognized women artists in the Western world.

Publisher's Note
In a vivid re-creation of Baroque Italy, Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the Western world's first major women artists, is raped by her father's partner, Agostino Tassi, and refuses, in the face of family pressure, scandal, and torture to deny the crime, an attitude that ostracizes her from Rome and from her father. Reprint.

Industry reviews
"...ARTEMISIA employs admirable artistry in depicting the turbulent life and times of two great painters."
New York Times Book Review  (10/15/2000)
