Hardcover. Octavo. Hardcover. Glossy illustrated boards. xxviii, 196 pages, 98 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 22 cm. "This book provides new impetus to the study of female art in regional areas. It will expand research beyond studies of women's lives, careers, socio-political patronage, and specific gender issues to look at emblematic, historical, and spiritual aspects of their work. Through an analysis of the paintings of Barbara Longhi, the book reveals the importance of devotional art and the ample creativity of female painters. It highlights the importance of Longhi's artistic contribution in the study of iconography and iconology on art and devotion in some of her paintings. Although there is limited information about her personal life, through the records of her two Wills and Testaments, we learn about her administrative ability, family dedication, and, most of all, about her Christian religiosity and devotion to the Virgin Mary (La Madonna)."--Provided by publisher.
