Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
This rich cultural history of female self-portraits uses colorful and unforgettable works to show the creative, wonderful and poignant creative ideas and artistic expressions of female artists - as if the nuns have traveled through the centuries and are gazing at us from between the pages; in 16th-century Italy, Sofonisva Angussola painted one of her long self-portraits - from her youth to her old age; in 17th-century Holland, Judith Lester painted herself sitting at her easel, depicting a calm and confident professional; in the 18th century, from Elisabeth Vigée-Le Brun to Angelica Kauffmann, artists expressed their passion for their own craft and reflected their ideas about femininity... This thought-provoking book fully demonstrates Francesca Pozzello's gripping text and emotional and fascinating self-portrait illustrations.
