It presents an overview of her life and work, considering Carriera's miniatures alongside her better-known, larger-scale works.  Focusing on interpretation of her paintings in the historical context of her life as a single woman in Venice, the book offers an easy guide through Carriera´s life, the people she met, her clients and her artistic approach. The author's new iconographic analysis of some of Carriera's works reveals that she was an erudite painter, drawing on antiquity as well as the work of Renaissance virtuosos such as Leonardo da Vinci and Paolo Veronese.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743313076497,"sku":"NGR9781848225190","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52662039707921,"sku":"NLS9781848225190","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848225199.jpg?v=1750963376"},{"product_id":"life-and-work-of-rosalba-carriera-1673-1757-book-angela-oberer-9789462988996","title":"The Life and Work of Rosalba Carriera (1673-1757)","description":"The Life and Work of Rosalba Carriera (1673-1757): The Queen of Pastel is the first extensive biographical narrative in English of Rosalba Carriera. It is also the first scholarly investigation of the external and internal factors that helped to create this female painter's unique career in eighteenth-century Europe. It documents the difficulties, complications, and consequences that arose then -- and can also arise today -- when a woman decides to become an independent artist. This book contributes a new, in-depth analysis of the interplay between society's expectations, generally accepted codices for gendered behaviour, and one single female painter's astute strategies for achieving success, as well as autonomy in her professional life as a famed artist. Some of the questions that the author raises are: How did Carriera manage to build up her career? How did she run her business and organize her own workshop? What kind of artist was Carriera? Finally, what do her self-portraits reveal in terms of self-enactment and possibly autobiographical turning points?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52615280132369,"sku":"NLS9789462988996","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789462988996.jpg?v=1761523576"},{"product_id":"rosalba-carriera-book-angela-oberer-9781606068601","title":"Rosalba Carriera","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis stunning new volume is the first accessibly written, illustrated, English-language biography of Rosalba Carriera, one of the most famous women artists in eighteenth-century Europe. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Born in Venice in 1673 to a lawyer and a lace maker, Rosalba Carriera began her career painting decorative objects and rose to international renown as a portraitist in Italy, Germany, France, and England.

During the 1700s she was deemed \"the most talented female artist of our century,\" so famous that she was referred to by her first name only.
