Zusammenfassung:The Life and Work of Rosalba Carriera (1673-1757): the Queen of Pastel' is the first extensive biographical narrative in English of Rosalba Carriera. It is also the first scholarly investigation into the external and internal factors that helped to create this female painter's unique career in eighteenthcentury Europe. It documents the difficulties complications and consequences that arose then and can also arise today when a woman decides to become an independent artist. This book contributes a new indepth analysis of the interplay among society's expectations generally accepted codices for gendered behavior and one single female painter's astute strategies for achieving success as well as autonomy in her professional life as a famed artist. Some of the questions that the author raises are: How did Carriera manage to build up her career? How did she run her business and organize her own workshop? What kind of artist was Carriera? Finally what do her selfportraits reveal in terms of selfenactment possibly autobiographical turning points?
