Modesti presents Sirani as a 'subject of her own genre', highlighting the painter's innovative qualities, not only in artistic terms, but also from a socio-political and historical perspective. The author's discussion of her material context of women's artistic production and of the Bolognese seventeenth-century cultural world evidences how Sirani epitomized a new model of femininity' and a new rising social genre: the single professional woman. Having been rightly admitted to an artistic, social, and cultural world historically dominated by men, Sirani was an unmarried woman who chose a productive and rewarding career over the traditional role of wife and mother."--Back cover. 600 10 $a Sirani, Elisabetta, $d 1638-1665 $x Criticism and interpretation. 651 0 $a Bologna (Italy) $x Intellectual life $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Arts, Baroque $z Bologna $z Bologna $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Women painters $z Bologna $z Bologna $y 17th century. 830 0 $a Late medieval and early modern studies ; $v v. 22. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171221035258.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ACD9657AF2F211E49475ABD7DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
