In 1757 she died nearly blind from cataracts, a tragic end for a painter acclaimed for exquisite miniatures and innovative pastels. During the 1700s she was deemed \"the most talented female artist of our century,\" so famous that she was referred to by her first name only. Today, however, she is little known outside Venice, despite the attribution to her of more than seven hundred surviving artworks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis accessibly written, gorgeously illustrated biography surveys Carriera's career, considering her miniatures alongside better-known works of larger scale.\u003c\/b\u003e Interpreting her oeuvre against the historical context of her experience as a single woman in Venice, the book takes readers through the full arc of her life, including the people she met, her clients, and her artistic approach. Author Angela Oberer's original iconographic analysis of some of Carriera's work reveals that she was an erudite painter who drew on antiquity as well as Renaissance precedents such as Leonardo da Vinci and Paolo Veronese. \u003cb\u003ePublished in conjunction with the 350th anniversary of her birth, this book is a long overdue tribute to an important and prolific artist.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAngela Oberer is a lecturer in art history with a PhD from the Technische Universität Berlin.
