This book describes the art and lives of thirty-four women artists, starting from Artemisia Gentileschi - the first woman artist whose work constituted a watershed able to question certain gender prejudices - followed by other famous Italian women painters, such as Sofonisba Anguissola -the Lombard painter appreciated by Van Dyck -, Lavinia Fontana, Fede Galizia, Marietta Robusti, known as \"la Tintoretta\", and many others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdmiring the over 130 works on the pages of this book we can appreciate the artistic greatness of these long-forgotten artists as well as the problematic nature of a historical period that did not favour women's professional affirmation and recognition. Stories of women that offer a reading beyond stereotypes and capable of questioning behavioural models. Women who challenged prejudices, deconstructed restraining clichés, and who found their expression in painting.","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41508550279301,"sku":"PR398858","price":138.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_TNXDUW862AZZ.jpg?v=1769797798","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.co.nz\/products\/the-ladies-of-art","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
