Woman Triumphant Vicente Blasco Ibanez

Woman Triumphant interweaves in its story all the tangled threads of a great artist's life--his impelling genius, his passionate desire to paint the beauty of the world, his periods of reaction, his wife's love in conflict with her jealousy of much that his painting involves, and his love for her which dominates his life to the very end. The rich colors of the artistic life of Madrid, Rome and Venice are vivid in its pages. Its keen insight and vital force are characteristic of that master of modern fiction.
