Svergin​ata

Picture
Artemisia Gentileschi is one of Rome's most gifted and promising painters—unusual for a young woman in 1612. But when she is sexually assaulted by one of her tutors, a scandalous trial threatens to destroy her life, her reputation, and her budding career. Passionate and haunting, Sverginata uses contemporary strokes to create a complicated portrait of art, gender, and legacy, asking: Is it better to be remembered for the wrong thing, or for nothing at all?
