| Summary: | This illustrated monograph offers new scholarship and a fascinating look into the life and work of the Renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola. "Sofonisba Anguissola (c. 1532-1625), an Italian Renaissance painter born in Cremona to a relatively poor noble family, was one of the first women artists to establish an international reputation during her lifetime. This stunningly illustrated monograph explores the evolution of Anguissola's art from her youth in Cremona through her service as a lady-in-waiting to the Spanish queen, Elisabeth of Valois, to her later years as a married woman in Sicily and Genoa. Alongside discussions of Anguissola and her work, author Cecelia Gamberini offers a tantalizing exploration of Renaissance court life, detailing how the circles of influence and power operated."-- |
