As artists create their masterpieces, they add layer upon layer of magics drawn from their own life essence, giving each work the power to heal- or to curse. The all-male Accademia jealously guards its power and has no place for an ambitious young woman arriving from Rome under a cloud of scandal. Haunted by the shadow of her harrowing past and fighting for every commission, Artemisia begins winning allies among luminaries such as Galileo Galilei, the influential Cristina de' Medici and the charming, wealthy Francesco Maria Maringhi. But not everyone in Florence wants to see Artemisia succeed, and when an incendiary preacher turns his ire from Galileo to the art world, Artemisia must choose between revenge and her dream of creating a legacy that will span the generations. 600 10 $a Gentileschi, Artemisia, $d 1593-1652 or 1653 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Galilei, Galileo, $d 1564-1642 $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Christine, $c of Lorraine, Grand Duchess, consort of Ferdinand I, Grand Duke of Tuscany, $d 1565-1636 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Art $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Florence (Italy) $x History $y 1421-1737 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012625.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230713113838.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230621011059.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230603010710.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230519010156.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FDAC20ACEA4011EDA3E935F65AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
