The Passion of Artemisia<\/em> by Susan Vreeland<\/h2>\n

\"five-stars\"<\/p>\n

This book is about the life of Artemisia Gentileschi, a painter living in 17th century Italy. While this book doesn\u2019t cover her life from birth to death, it covers all of the important parts.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a work of fiction, but it seems realistic. Even though I didn\u2019t live in 17th century Italy and am not a fervent painter, I can sympathize with Artemisia. Despite the 400 year time gap, most of her issues are still relevant today. Her victories seems like your own. Her struggles make you want to slap her adversaries across the face.<\/p>\n

This story isn\u2019t happy, it\u2019s based on Artemisia\u2019s life. It doesn\u2019t follow the usual plot path of most fiction books. It\u2019s similar to biographical books in that there is no set antagonist, beginning, middle, or end.<\/p>\n

The writing is great. As I\u2019ve already said, I am not artists or even, an art enjoyer. But this book still has the power to make you care about art. It starts to paint a picture (ha) of the craze and burning an artists feels to create art. It is enchanting and captivating.<\/p>\n

Overall I recommend it to anyone who wants to read about what it was like to be one of the only female painters in the art center of the world, but not if you don\u2019t particularly like biographical books (although I have to say this is a pretty good one). –Kara, teen reviewer<\/p>\n
