Heroine Tales in Art & Painting (女傑の絵画の物語) is an exploration of famous and iconic female protagonists depicted in both history and folklore through paintings, featuring characters like Judith, Hua Mulan, Joan Of Arc, Mata Hari and many more.

While the elaborate background stories and tales of each featured character are certainly fascinating, I personally was more interested in the discovery of the paintings as well as the artists behind them, many of whom I am new to. Some of the more recognizable artist names includes Rubens, Poussin, Delacroix, Millais, Cassatt, Lichtenstein, and many others.

A relatively inexpensive softcover volume that is not only a good read to learn more about these fascinating female protagonists but also allows for appreciation of the paintings and art work that depict them. Recommended.
