Publisher's Synopsis
Artemisia Gentileschi was more than a painter-she was a survivor. Born in a world where women had no power, she defied expectations to become one of the greatest Baroque artists of all time. But before fame came suffering: a brutal assault, a scandalous trial, and a society that sought to silence her. Through her art, she found her revenge, painting powerful women who defied and destroyed the men who wronged them.
Decades later, an art enthusiast in Australia stumbles upon a mysterious painting that could change history. As he unravels its origins, he embarks on a journey through the secrets of the past-leading him to Florence, the Vatican, and beyond. His Head on a Platter is a gripping tale of art, justice, and an unsung heroine's fight against the odds.
