A great read! I read this book in three evenings. Vreeland's writing will draw you in. A person doesn't have to be an artist to enjoy this book. Artemesia Gentileschi's struggle to find love, forgiveness & wholeness through painting is displayed vividly & with detail. Artemesia persevered to overcome her past from sexual abuse in her young womanhood. he endured public mockery, and a court trial. She learned to paint passionately what others couldn't see/and hadn't painted before. She became an accomplished paintenr during the post-Renaissance Italy. I enjoyed reading this book. Vreeland's writing is excellent..
