Description - An Artist in Her Own Right by Ann Marti Friedman
Set in France during the Napoleonic period, this is the story of Augustine Defresne (1789-1842). An Artist in Her Own Right recounts an exciting half-century of French artistic and political history through the eyes of the littleknown artist Augustine Dufresne (1789-1842). Born in Paris in the year of the Revolution, Augustine spends her childhood and youth amidst the turbulent years that see the rise of Napoleon. Her first love, a soldier, is killed in Spain, and she marries the much older Antoine-Jean Gros (1771-1835), one of the favourite painters of Napoleon and Josephine As little is known about Augustine's life, this is a fictional biography which is based on extensive research and describes how difficult it was for a female artist to ply her trade and gain recognition.
