Good to see Gentileschi again. How prolific was she? Is there a catalogue of her work?

According to my research, the book “Artemisia Gentileschi and the Authority of Art: Critical Reading and Catalogue Raisonné” is where you will find a list of her paintings, but I am not sure it’s a complete or incomplete list.
Thanks for reading!

Thanks, Natasha – will look it up. I have started a Renaissance Art blog on Simple Site – I hope to slowly build up blogs about Vadari’s artists there!

It is http://www.ericleo.simplesite.com
but I have only posted 3 critiques so far. The idea is to self-publish my Vasari-poems and link each to the website/blog. It will no doubt be a slow business ’cause I am also writing a book about Blake and Buddhism!

Acho que sou a única brasileira do comentário tirando você Natasha rsrsrsrs ,implacável o texto que você escreveu,vendo o lado certo de como a visão dessas pinturas pode modificar tanto a forma como vemos hoje,eu traduzir pelo tradutor por que não sei inglês,como amo pinturas barrocas,faço questão sempre.
