Artemisia Gentileschi was the greatest female artist of the Baroque age. Gentileschi was shamed in a culture where honour was everything. Yet she went on to become one of the most sought-after artists.

Jonathan Jones brings together Tracey Emin and her complete career into one concise and essential volume. From some of her previously unpublished early works from the 1980s, through the period of the Young British Artists.

In this new and spirited account of British art, Jonathan Jones argues for empiricism. From the Enlightenment to the present, British artists have shared a passion for looking hard at the world around them.
