"The Image of Women in Art: How the Ideal Changed from Nefertiti to Marlene Dietrich" is a journey through the centuries, in which art historian Daria Oskin reveals how the ideal of female beauty has evolved and what was valued in women in different eras.
The author is an internationally renowned art historian, blogger @daria.oskin, lecturer, and writer. She received her education in art history in several European countries and also collaborated with one of the oldest museums in the world, the Louvre. In this book, Daria Oskin elegantly and thoroughly describes how the ideal of women changed from Ancient Egypt to the 20th century, citing examples of beauties from paintings in international museums, such as Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus," Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa," and Renoir's "Bathers," to demonstrate how diverse female beauty has been throughout the ages.
A large number of illustrations allow one to experience the transformation of the feminine ideal and not only learn about the history of the female image in art, but also trace how the view of women changed in the works of great masters—from an idealized image to a living and individual one.
