Artemisia Gentileschi was the greatest female artist of the Baroque age and one of the most brilliant followers of the great Caravaggio. As a young woman she was raped by her tutor, and then had to endure a seven-month-long trial during which she was brutally examined by the authorities.

Gentileschi's art communicated a powerful personal vision. Like Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois, or Tracey Emin, she put her life into her art.

Postava rytíře na válečném oři se stala symbolem středověkého období. Za lidovým vypodobněním rytíře se však nachází realita, která je jak složitější, tak ještě více fascinující. Tato kniha proniká vrstvami mýtů, aby odhalila skutečného rytířského válečníka. Přibližuje životní prostředí středověkého dvorského bojovníka – od složitostí jeho zbroje k jeho „kariérní“ cestě, zásadám rytířského chování a úloze v politice i společnosti. Kniha je vlastně bohatě ilustrovaným průvodcem, který čerpá z bezprostředních líčení vytvářených samotnými rytíři a znovu barvitým a realistickým způsobem oživuje bitvy jako Agincourt či Pavie i jednotlivé rytíře, například Godfreye de Bouillon, Viléma Maréchala a Richarda Lví srdce.
