Publisher Description This insightful volume is the first English-language book to explore the life and legacy of Elisabetta Sirani, one of the most celebrated women artists of seventeenth-century Italy. Elisabetta Sirani (1638-1665)--painter, printmaker, and teacher--was one of the most innovative and prolific artists of the Bolognese school. The daughter of a painter, she hailed from a city whose university was believed to have had educated women since the Middle Ages and that celebrated the cult of Saint Catherine of Bologna, who was known for her skill as a painter and illuminator--ideal conditions to encourage the training and patronage of skilled women artists. Drawing on extensive archival documentation and primary sources, including inventories, sale catalogues, and Siranis work diary, this book provides an overview of the brief life, fascinating oeuvre, critical fortune, and cultural legacy of this successful Baroque artist. Art historian Adelina Modesti vividly describes the society that both inhibited and supported Sirani, examining her influence on students at Bolognas school for professional women artists as well as her significance in the professionalization of womens artistic practice during the seventeenth century. Gorgeously illustrated throughout, this book focuses on womens agency. More specifically, it explores Siranis identity as both a woman and an artist, including her professional ambition, self-fashioning, and literary construction as Bolognas preeminent cultural heroine. Author Biography Adelina Modesti is an honorary senior fellow in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
