On May 10 at 7:30 pm the Thursday Evening Book Group will discuss the historical novel, The Passion of Artemisia, by Susan Vreeland. Read a review here: http://www.mostlyfiction.com/history/vreeland.htm
See the "prequel" before the discussion - at 5:45, we will be screening Artemisia, directed by Alice Merlot, starring Valentina Cervi - it is a visually stunning film about Artemisia Gentileschi in the years leading up to the trial - the novel is about her life after the trial. Be warned, though, that "Artemisia" includes scenes with nude artists' models, both male and female, in a context appropriate to the film. Filmed in Italy, in French with subtitles.
