Garrard is well known for first asserting Artemisia into the art historical canon some thirty years ago with her substantial monograph, Artemisia Gentileschi: The Image of the Female Hero in Italian Baroque Art.
Culminating, as well as cultivating, this interest in the artist is Garrard's fascinating volume, part of the well-produced and well-illustrated Renaissance Lives series from Reaktion Books. 2020 was a very good year for seventeenth-century artist Artemisia Gentileschi: there was a major exhibition at the National Gallery (London), its first ever dedicated to a woman artist, with accompanying scholarly catalogue other publications such as Jonathan Jones's Artemisia Gentileschi (Lives of the Artist series) and yet another work of biographical fiction on the artist, Linda Lafferty's Fierce Dreamer.
