Harrow, Elena Ferrante and Susanna Clarke.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Artemisia Gentileschi arrives in Florence seeking a haven for her art, she faces instant opposition from the powerful Accademia, self-proclaimed gatekeepers of Florence's magical art world. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaunted 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Titan Books (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803362342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2023 pg. 35\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nicole Jarvis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42761787539637,"sku":"9781803362342","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_41a6cb7b-9769-444e-9027-c6f01860e41a.jpg?v=1678203503","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-portrait-in-shadow-9781803362342","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
