This is an accessibly written, illustrated biography of Venetian painter Rosalba Carriera (1673-1757), one of the most famous women artists in 18th-century Europe. 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.
Angela Oberer is a lecturer in Art History with a PhD from the Technische Universität, Berlin. She has written and lectured extensively on the work of Rosalba Carriera.
