Our second book is The Passion of Artemisia by Susan Vreeland. Susan Vreeland is known for art-related historical fiction. The reader takes a look into the life of Artemisia Gentileschi, a real-life female painter who gained fame in her own time. The book covers her traumatic rape trial, her father's betrayal, her marriage, motherhood, and her rise as a celebrated artist, including her acceptance into Florence's Academy of Art. Explore passion, genius, forgiveness, friendship, love, and the struggle to balance career and family in richly detailed 17th-century Italy, featuring historical figures like Galileo and the Medici.
