![]() ![]() ![]() Although the author acknowledges her exceptionality - a woman artist achieving professional success on a par with her male colleagues - his major objective is to situate her, together with her male and female peers, in the period’s patronage networks and wider cultural milieu. ![]() Two thematic chapters address her self-portraiture and her treatment by eighteenth-century biographers, respectively. While many scholars concentrate on Artemisia’s early career in Rome and Florence, Locker focuses instead on the time she spent in Venice (1626–29/30), Naples (1629/30–her death c.

He was brilliant, to be sure, but those with advanced degrees in philosophy, art history, history, and science will most likely find some of his analysis of ideas and individuals lacking. It’s important to note at the outset that Schaeffer was first and foremost and evangelist and not a philosopher. The God Who Is There does help even modern readers to understand the state of our culture, but the book doesn’t always do a good job of explaining exactly how we got here. The challenge of all simplification is to make deep thoughts accessible to the average reader without misrepresenting the thoughts. What made his 1968 classic The God Who Is There so important, however, was not merely that he saw this trend coming, but that he simplified profound philosophical concepts in order for his readers to interact with these thought trends.
