The Passion of Artemisia


  






The Passion of Artemisia
Vreeland, Susan
Fiction V957p
From extraordinary highs--the creation of outstandingly original paintings, patronage by the Medici, Galileo's friendship--to rape, torture by the Inquisition, struggles for professional acceptance, and betrayal by the men she loved, Artemisia was a bold and brilliant woman who lived as she wanted, and paid a high price.
