About biographies of Sofonisba Anguissola--there are none in print right now. I based my book on Ilya Sandra Perlingieri's SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA, THE FIRST GREAT WOMAN ARTIST OF THE RENAISSANCE (1992) and Sylvia Ferino-Pagden and Maria Kusche's SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA, A RENAISSANCE WOMAN (1995). Both are mentioned in the Author's Note in THE CREATION OF EVE. Seems like we're due for a great art book on Sofi! I love a good question.

It's amazing how the life of women painters has improved in such a short period of time--Mary Cassat still faced most of the same challenges and obstacles that Sofonisba did, but less than a century after her death, women artists train by sketching nudes as a matter of course! I'm interested in how Lynn researched Sofonisba--are there good biographies of her other there, or is the academic research pretty scant? .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HeidenkindsHideaway/~3/o_bMe83gR1c/persuasion-by-jane-austen.html">Persuasion by Jane Austen</a> =-.
