Artemisia Gentileschi led a remarkably \"modern\" life. Vreeland tells Artemisia's captivating story, beginning with her public humiliation in a rape trial at the age of eighteen, and continuing through her father's betrayal, her marriage of convenience, motherhood, and growing fame as an artist. Set against the glorious backdrops of Rome, Florence, Genoa, and Naples, inhabited by historical characters such as Galileo and Cosimo de' Medici II, and filled with rich details about life as a seventeenth-century painter, Vreeland creates an inspiring story about one woman's lifelong struggle to reconcile career and family, passion and genius.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Vreeland\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of eight books, including \u003ci\u003eClara and Mr. Tiffany \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Girl in Hyacinth Blue\u003c\/i\u003e.
