本书对一位备受喜欢的巴洛克艺术家后期的事业与生活重新进行了重要评估。

阿尔泰米西娅·真蒂莱斯基（Artemisia Gentileschi，1593-约1656）被誉为17世纪极具影响力和表现力的画家，在过去20年的艺术史论中占据了重要地位。在经过多年被学术界忽视后，真蒂莱斯基再度引发了人们的关注，部分原因在于对其早期生活的戏剧性细节的兴趣，包括广为流传的对其绘画导师阿戈斯蒂诺·塔西（Agostino Tassi）的强奸审判，以及她被佛罗伦萨备受尊崇的迪赛诺学院（Accademia del Disegno）录取。虽然真蒂莱斯基的早期绘画作品被广泛讨论，但其后期作品在很大程度上被忽视了。

这本图文并茂、文笔优美的书籍对真蒂莱斯基后期的艺术生涯进行革命性的探讨，驳斥了一些长久以来对这位艺术家的假设。她是半文盲的事实让学者们误以为她缺乏文学素养和文化教育。本书作者洛克强调口述在巴洛克文化和真蒂莱斯基绘画中的重要性，认为她在17世纪的文化语境中具有重要地位。

本书作者杰西·M. 洛克（Jesse M. Locker）主要研究文艺复兴及巴洛克时期的意大利艺术。他当前的兴趣领域包括：早期现代艺术家的教育经历，16、17世纪的绘画与文学文化，早期现代意大利艺术与食品的交集。

An important reassessment of the later career and life of a beloved baroque artist

Hailed as one of the most influential and expressive painters of the seventeenth century, Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–ca. 1656) has figured prominently in the art historical discourse of the past two decades. This attention to Artemisia, after many years of scholarly neglect, is partially due to interest in the dramatic details of her early life, including the widely publicized rape trial of her painting tutor, Agostino Tassi, and her admission to Florence’s esteemed Accademia del Disegno. While the artist’s early paintings have been extensively discussed, her later work has been largely dismissed.

This beautifully illustrated and elegantly written book provides a revolutionary look at Artemisia’s later career, refuting longstanding assumptions about the artist. The fact that she was semi-illiterate has erroneously led scholars to assume a lack of literary and cultural education on her part. Stressing the importance of orality in Baroque culture and in Artemisia’s paintings, Locker argues for her important place in the cultural dialogue of the seventeenth century.
