ARTIST'S APPEAL TRANSCENDS SLOPPY PORTRAIT
2002
Overview
The Passion of Artemisia is highly readable in some ways, but it lacks passion. [Susan Vreeland]'s style is too breezy here, her first person voice for Artemisia too modern. The story lacks verisimilitude; the novel seldom feels set in the 17th Century. And, for a painter, Vreeland's Artemisia lacks a good eye for observation. She never makes us see Genoa or Florence. \"An artist's job as well as a scientist's is to study the universe of the eye,\" she says, yet that eye is clouded here. Instead we get a recitation of incident in a bland tongue and tone-deaf recollection, without fury or love or verve, all emotions we assume for the teller of this tale.
