Reviews for Artemisia Gentileschi
[This book] is doubly welcome, both for its hitherto underrehearsed subject
one of the most accomplished female practitioners in the history of art
and for the exceptionally keen and questing intelligence which the author brings to her task.
John Gash, Art in America Garrard brings her subject vividly to life as few scholars of the period have done for other artists... [Her] powerfully argued, intelligent appreciation of every facet of Gentileschi's difficult life and artistic contribution will bring the artist a large, new audience.
Ann Sutherland Harris, The Women's Review of Books If you read only one art history book this year, it should be Mary D. Garrard's Artemisia Gentileschi.
