Breaking the Fresco Ceiling
1 of 1 found this helpful I read this novel along with other texts for research in art history and women artists since the Renaissance. It was well written and felt well researched, considering the time period (1593-1652) and the multiple locations throughout Renaissance and Post-Renaissance Italy. Vreeland wrote convincingly and passionately about the struggles, both personally and professionally, that Artemesia would have encountered. She was working in a male centered society, within a male dominated occupation, so her obstacles were numerous. Her personal, even intimate, strife charged the story and offered a firm backdrop of women's oppression which seems to have changed very little over the span of some 400 years to today. Attempting to interpret conversational style from a time when no recorded evidence exists, must be a challenging task. Since we can never truly be objective or without our own predilections, it is difficult to know if the exchanges between Artemesia and her father, her husband, her colleagues, and the court officials would have sounded as easy and as contemporary as they read here, but that can never really be known. It felt romanticized, but not sentimental. I am happy to have purchased the book and enjoyed the reading. It has whet my appetite to know more and to look further into her story for more information.
