Book Synopsis
A brand new look at the extraordinary accomplishments of early modern Italian women artists


Trade Review
“The book is uniquely conscious of its place in the historiography of the subject, avoiding essentialist claims.”—Jesse Locker, Art Newspaper

“Among numerous works in By Her Hand that have never been exhibited before, a set of four large pastels by Rosalba Carriera is outstanding. . . . Oliver Tostmann provides an excellent discussion of the set, focusing on their iconography.”—Richard E. Spear, Kunst Chronik

“Overall, the catalogue and exhibition is a balanced overview of women artists in Italy in the pre-modern era. Some of the art is wonderful and the texts provide a survey of the achievements of Italian women artists.”—Alexander Adams Art
