Creator of iconic paintings that intertwine with a canonical aesthetic of Brazilian representation—the landscape, the people, the festivals, the work, and the customs—Tarsila is one of the most acclaimed names in the history of Brazilian art, yet at the same time, a figure whose private life is very little known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eRaised in a conservative family, landowners in the interior of São Paulo, Tarsila broke through the moralistic barriers of her time in the early 20th century to become a world-renowned artist. However, anyone who thinks her life was nothing but glorious is mistaken. Disappointments in love and betrayal, attacks on her art and honor, reactionary judgments against her attempt to break away from bourgeois life, and even accusations that she collaborated with Getúlio Vargas's political police are all indicative of the series of misfortunes that haunted her throughout her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Mary Del Priore's writing style brings us closer to Tarsila in a unique way. This biography's narrative combines the lyricism of storytelling with the rigor of archival research, gradually revealing flavors that underpin an unusual profile of the great modernist—both in the iconographic revolution her images represented and in the invention of a new position for women in São Paulo society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTarsila: A Sweet-Bitter Life\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with one of the public's most beloved artists, in a delightful read, full of revelations.

A member of a powerful Austrian family, whose kingdom was one of the most prosperous in 19th-century Europe, Leopoldina represented a unique opportunity for her lineage. Her marriage would seal an agreement with the powerful Braganzas, holders of the Portuguese Crown, and the Habsburgs, ambitious to expand their business interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eHowever, the promises of an abundant life in Brazil were not fully realized. In the political arena, Leopoldina had to deal with heated issues surrounding the union of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves. In her private life, the neglect with which she was treated by her husband—surrounded by lovers and lacking in good manners—led her to a deep depression. Unable to build friendships in her new country, Leopoldina felt abandoned and, often, merely a decoration for the young emperor, who was quick to appear publicly alongside his most notable lover, Domitila de Castro, the Marquise of Santos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this brief book, historian Mary Del Priore recounts Leopoldina's dizzying life of luxury and heartbreak in a charming narrative. The author employs an original stylistic device that captures our attention while simultaneously conveying the emotional and affective burdens of the monarchs who shaped the course of our history. To achieve this, she uses the voice of a highly charismatic character. The fictional narrator of Leopoldina's story is her daughter, Maria da Glória—the woman who, years later, would become Maria II, the Brazilian who became Queen of Portugal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThus, Mary Del Priore brings us closer to the empress in the same way a daughter draws closer to her mother, leading us inside the São Cristóvão Palace, where the royal family lived.
