Reviews
"In this beautifully produced volume, Angela Oberer presents an engaging picture of the inherent sociability that animated the art of Rosalba Carriera and its phenomenal success across Europe. Moreover, the author's descriptions capture the sensuous haptic appeal of the miniatures and pastels that captivated her patrons and visitors, thereby extending their implied intimacy to viewers and readers today."
--Tracy Cooper, Professor of Art History, Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University
"Angela Oberer offers a fresh perspective on the pastels and miniatures of Rosalba Carriera, one of the most famous female artists of the 18th century. She also convincingly presents Carriera's strategies for asserting herself as a woman in the male-dominated art world in a new light from today's perspective."
--Roland Enke, Deputy Director of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden
"A wonderfully contextualized, thoroughly researched introduction to Carriera and her achievements."--J. K. Dabbs "CHOICE" (12/1/2023 12:00:00 AM)
