A parte de la trama (que me ha encantado) todo lo que explica sobre cómo vivían las mujeres durante el renacimiento y los problemas a los que se enfrentaban solo por ser mujeres me ha parecido muy interesante. Tanto la cortesana, como la costurera son geniales personajes.

This is getting better, I admit it ! The thing is that the feminism feels... cliché ? What I mean by that is that "I'm not gonna cry because a boy wouldn't" is that for real ? I mean, boys cry, or else some people have been lying to me. But at the same time, we love women empowerment, and I want to tell her "Keep going !" That being said, the "he sees me as his student and not as a woman" is something that I love.
However, Arte, darling, don't date Leo. If you HAVE to date someone, date Angelo. First, he is much cuter. Second, master/student relationship is not a good idea.

Un manga diverso dal solito, mi piace che la storia si prenda il suo tempo e non corra all'impazzata buttando alla rinfusa tanti elementi.
Arte inizia a prendere parte attiva in un mondo dove non c'è spazio per le donne, ma grazie al suo carattere forte e determinato e grazie alla sua gentilezza, si ritaglia, passo dopo passo, un lavoro, degli amici e il rispetto da parte dei personaggi che le ruotano attorno.

If you love Kaoru Mori’s works, this series is the next best choice with the details accorded to the setting, time period, culture, art, and characterization. It is really great!

Eine gute Fortsetzung, in der die Reihe langsam ihr Tempo findet.

故事尚未展開，前兩集還是套路~
感覺阿爾蒂動畫人設的身材比原著還要誇張
倒是第二集後記看到
編輯要求作者多讀背景資料以備創作
看來跟森薰自發讀中亞資料不一樣啊
另外原來作者提出取材需求
出版社可以全額買單啊，只是要編輯陪著去
作者名花有主，只好自費跟老伴去
然後取材過程就富奸了....
算了就要出台版三了
再等一下

C'était trop bien ! Arte a une telle détermination et force de caractère, elle est inspirante ! Les dessins sont toujours aussi beau dans ce contexte de l'art à Florence en pleine Renaissance. Il faut que j'achète la suite !

Abandonando su casa y su estatus social, Arte ha pasado a ser la aprendiz de Leo, el maestro de un pequeño taller en Florencia. Trabajando duramente todos los días, a la vez que aprende e intenta mejorar sus capacidades artísticas, Arte recibe su primer encargo de manos de Verónica, una cortesana cliente de Leo desde hace años. Maravillada ante la actitud y la sapiencia de la mujer, Arte comienza a idealizar a Verónica hasta que se da cuenta verdaderamente de qué tipo de oficio es el que ofrece a sus clientes (la prostitución) y eso hace que quede perturbada y que no sepa bien como actuar.
A esto hay que sumarle los sentimientos extraños que está comenzando a experimentar por Leo, su maestro, y que hacen que no sea capaz de comportarse normalmente en su presencia o cuando este quiere enseñarle algo; dificultando así la labor de aprendizaje entre maestro y aprendiz. ¿Conseguirá Arte volver a la normalidad y dar en paso adelante en su sueño de ser una artista independiente?

Este segundo volumen de Arte ha conseguido sorprenderme muy gratamente con el enfoque que le ha dado su autora: mostrar situaciones de otras mujeres de época y como, cada una a su manera, luchaban por seguir adelante. esperaba un manga que se centrarse en el tema artístico de la protagonista y me ha gustado mucho la aparición de estos personajes femeninos.
Con muchas ganas de tener el tercer volumen en mis vamos.

人物愈來愈多，也觸及女性就業各種面向，雖老哏但稱職。

Me sigue teniendo fascinada la historia de Arte y cómo quiere conseguir ser una mujer independiente en la Florencia del Renacimiento. Y algo que me ha gustado mucho de este tomo ha sido conocer mejor a algunos personajes que se cruzan por su camino.
Por ejemplo, tenemos a la cortesana Veronica, una mujer a la que Arte admira pero sin dejar de advertir su lado oscuro. También conocemos el ambiente que tiene en casa Angelo, un aprendiz de otro artista que siempre se muestra muy caballeroso con las mujeres (y a nuestra Arte eso no le gusta, quiere ser tratada como una igual, para bien o para mal!). Y otro personaje que me ha encantado ha sido Dacia, hija de un granjero que trabaja muy duro para conseguir su propia dote.
Toda esta galería de personajes tan variada hace que el contexto de la obra sea tan rico, porque nos permite ver desde los salones más majestuosos de los patrones o mecenas a las calles donde viven las personas más míseras de la ciudad.
Lo único que me saca de ese ambiente tan bien detallado y dibujado es cuando los personajes tienen comportamientos o gestos típicamente japoneses: entonces recuerdo que estoy leyendo un manga y me tengo que reír...
Seguiremos con el tomo 3 a ver por dónde nos lleva la historia... De momento está siendo todo muy costumbrista y reivindicativo.

Este segundo tomo de Arte mejora muchísimo en el aspecto histórico y artístico. No sólo el dibujo es más acertado, mucho más detallado, sino que está tan bien ambientado que, como veremos en el siguiente tomo, Kei Okhubo no ha querido tomarse casi ninguna licencia respecto a la época – más adelante, en otro volumen, nos explica cuál se ha tomado des del principio de la serie – y eso se nota muchísimo. Los personajes están muy bien retratados, y aquí se profundiza mucho más en el rol de la mujer en el siglo XVI, empezando por el papel de las llamadas “cortesanas” y terminando en lo que les estaba permitido o no según la clase social a la que pertenecían. La verdad que es una gozada leer esta serie, pues a las adolescentes (y los adolescentes, a menudo utilizo el femenino para generalizar, ¿por qué no?) les ofrece la intriga justa, mostrando la época cómo realmente era, sin romantizarla ni modernizarla (sí, no fue la norma, pero casos como el de Arte los hubo en aquella época, algunos aceptados por sus familias y otros no, pero siempre contracorriente) y al adulto formado le ofrece la posibilidad de enfrascarse en una historia que atrapa y te mete de lleno en el renacimiento italiano. Una gozada.

In the slum, Veronica shows Arte a woman who at first looks old, but is actually young. Veroncia informs her that she used to be a high-class cortigiana just like her, but she fell in love, was distracted by it, and lost everything. She wants to impress on Arte that women cannot be distracted by love if they want to be independent; this world is cruel to women.
Later, when she goes home, she isn’t very hungry because she is thinking about all she has seen, but Leo says eating is part of work, so you should force it down, and she does. She’s determined to fulfill her dream, so she tells herself she won’t think such useless thoughts and instead focuses on work.
The next time she goes to paint Veronica’s portrait, a man is waiting there as well, and he seems to be suffering. When Arte gets called back before him, she lets Veronica know he was there waiting before her. Veronica informs her that she knows this and is making him wait on purpose. This is one of the tricks of the trade, but Arte finds this disturbing, and again, this distracts her from focusing on work.
The next time she goes to Veronica’s, the same man is waiting. She tries to talk to him, and he kinda flips out on her, asking her all sorts of questions out of his anxiety. When Art goes back to see Veronica, she asks her if it’s right to make people suffer as part of your job. Veronica tries to brush it off as not important, but Arte gets more upset, telling Veronica she didn’t think she was the type of person to do such cruel things. She ends up yelling that she doesn’t think it’s a nice thing to do at all and storms out.
When she gets back, Leo can tell something happened, but she tells him everything is fine, though when he goes to pat her head, she freaks out, saying, “Let go of me!” Arte isn’t sure what to do because she’s upset with Veronica, who is an important patron, and Leo, who is her boss.
Arte is working on putting the finishing touches on the portrait and is dreading having to face Veronica when it’s done. Meanwhile, Leo is still concerned, so he decides to go as Veronica directly. She tells him nothing happened, but he can tell she is hiding the truth. Veronica asks him what will happen if Arte continues like this, and he says she would have to quit. Veronica says, he can’t do that to her. She explains she has taken a liking to her, and Arte reminds her of herself.
Arte finally finishes with Leo’s approval. When she delivers it to Veronica, she is very pleased with the results. Arte tells her she still can’t accept that her work hurts people, but she respects her for standing on her own two feet and doing her best in her own way. Veronica laughs and says that’s okay, and that she likes that about Arte. Arte also finds out that Veronica provides for her younger brother and sister. Arte asks how long she will continue to wear that smile that she hides behind as she hurts others, and Veronica replies that it might be until the day she dies. Arte realizes that it is her resolve. As she leaves, Veronica tells her she will always be there to see her and give her advice as a friend if she needs it. It ends with Arte realizing that she never wants to hurt other people, but she does want to empower herself as Veronica has.
Then we have a side story about Arte and Angelo. We see he lives in a house full of women. He has 5 sisters, and they all depend on him for all sorts of things. He feels responsible for doing whatever they ask, and sees them in need of care and protection. But after he sees Arte in action, his ideas begin to change,
She goes to his workplace and asks to sketch their sculptures, but Angelo’s boss refuses because she’s a girl. Angelo proposes sneaking her in because he wants to help, but she wants to get in on her own. So she goes to the shop again and begins asking over and over, saying she’ll help out, etc. Finally, the boss relents and tells her that if she carries these 10 heavy bags to where they need to go, she can sketch. He does this, thinking there is no way she can do this task, but then she shocks everyone by accomplishing it. They are all amazed and have now gained a new respect for her, but when she goes to sketch, her hand cramps. He tells her she can come back when she’s feeling better and sketch then,
Later, Angelo asks her to come work there since he’s heard negative things about Leo, and that his boss would treat her right. She says no, that she likes it that Leo doesn’t treat her differently because she’s a girl, and she feels accomplished when she completes her tasks. She has given Angelo much to think about, and because of this, he begins treating his sisters differently, realizing he isn’t helping them by taking away all their difficulties.
The next story features a working-class young woman, Dacia. She is a seamstress who has been working since she was eleven to save for her own dowry because her parents can’t afford to provide one for her. She is resentful towards Arte because she is from an upper-class family.
Later, their paths cross, and Arte helps the women take on a job after their boss ran out on them. No one can read, so Arte helps them with the order, and she works with them to get the job done. They end up becoming friends through this, and in the end, Dancia is inspired to ask Arte to teach her how to read and write so she can better herself.
The next story has Leo giving Arte a chance to negotiate with a patron he doesn’t like. It seems they have a history from when Leo was a boy and first apprenticed. He didn’t think Leo could amount to anything. When Arte goes to see him, she sees he has a huge home and runs a whole area of town that is dedicated to the arts. But she gets nowhere when she tries to negotiate with him. She comes back to Leo apologetic for failing, and Leo resigns himself to having to go. But Arte decides she wants to try again, and Leo says this is good for her because to be a working artist, you need the skill of being able to sell your work. Arte realizes she needs to find her own way of dealing with this, and we see at the end she shows up at Veronica’s, I’m assuming, to ask for advice.

Lessons learned in a different time
Arte has achieved much already but things are not going to be easy for her. Through her determination and honesty she continues to affect the hearts of those around her as she strives to become an artisan in a world that thinks women should be protected but silent and not doing the work of men. This series continues to impress me as Arte learns new things and in turn teaches others as well while she does what she thinks is right. Now if only she didn't have these feelings for her master. :)

Another great volume for this series.
We definitely progress with the main story, following Arte getting used to her new life as an apprentiece and we follow her dealing with some harder tasks.
There are new characters introduced that help completing the set of characters and help developing the story.
This series seems to have a very slice of life style, so don't expect nothing too crazy happening in every single volume.

Continues to be a quick and easy read that mostly entertains. The shallow feminism message still feels clumsy and falls especially flat since Arte can overcome any obstacle easily, proving those oh-so prejudiced men wrong in the process. Yawn. It's still a fun read, but damn, a bit of nuance would be nice.

I loved this book! I read it in one sitting.
However the boy's sisters are so annoying.
As Well as the courtesan is ticking me the wrong way.
We also didn't get to see a lot of Leo and her relationship with him.

Fidèle au premier tome, on se laisse entraîner par la jeune Arte dans le Florence de la Renaissance à la découverte des ateliers d'artistes...
April 2, 2021
GROS GROS COUP DE ❤️ ! Rare sont les mangas que je trouve parfaits tels qu’ils sont mais Arte fait incontestablement partie de ceux là. Tant par la qualité du dessin que par celle du scénario largement étoffé par une recherche historique évidente rendant l’histoire tout à fait crédible voire ultra pédagogique. Certainement l’une des plus belles séries mangas créées ces dernières années.
Tout du long, c’est une magnifique fresque de Florence en pleine Renaissance qui se déroule sous nos yeux au fil des tomes et à travers le personnage de Arte.
Les dessins sont très beaux ! Rien que les couvertures donnent envie de se plonger dans la série. Et une fois dedans, c’est une vraie ballade dans les rues florentines et dans d’autres villes italiennes du XVIème siècle dont on découvre la société de l’époque, les différents métiers artistiques, la composition des différents matériaux, les techniques requises dans ces métiers ou encore les codes instaurés dans la création d’une œuvre et particulièrement dans l’art du portrait mais aussi les œuvres religieuses… Il y a un réel intérêt historique et artistique.
Arte est un personnage auquel toutes les femmes/filles peuvent s’identifier. C’est une féministe avant l’heure qui se bat pour réaliser son rêve de se faire reconnaître grâce à son art et d’être indépendante en dépit de mœurs de l’époque rendant difficile aux femmes l’accès aux métiers artistiques spécifiquement réservés aux hommes et les obligeant à se destiner au mariage, à la galanterie ou à l’église. Puis son énergie et sa détermination font d’elle un personnage attachant et drôle qui devrait plaire à tous les types de lecteurs.

Arte is a truly feminist.
Illustrations: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Characters: 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Story: 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really like the way Arte is trying to become independent and a great painter when everyone is telling her she can't just because she's a woman. I like the way she always feel bad when someone says "Maybe because you're a girl, he'll listen to you" or "It's incredible that your work it's so good though you're a women" or "You should not work so hard, you're a noble girl" and Arte's respond always is: "Yes, I'm a woman but I'm a person and I'm talented, and that's the only thing that matters". She knows for sure that becoming an artist will be extremely challenging but she has no doubts she can become a master painter.
It was so beautiful when Dacia asked Arte if she could teach her how to read and write, it was truly wonderful the way Dacia want to collect more intellect and she knows she's capable of greater things!

Niente da dire, questo è uno dei manga più interessanti tra quelli che sto leggendo al momento, a partire dalla sua ambientazione molto particolare fino alla sua protagonista. Qui sono le donne a catturare l'attenzione: anche se di origine nobile, Arte non vuole piegarsi al destino che toccava a tutte le ragazze dell'epoca - chiusa in casa a fare la moglie e la madre, sottomessa alla volontà di un uomo. Vuole condurre una vita indipendente e diventare un'artista. Una scelta che, come vorrebbe insegnarle la cortigiana Veronica, potrebbe avere dei risvolti non sempre piacevoli, soprattutto in materia di sentimenti. Di Arte non si può fare a meno di ammirare l'impegno, la capacità di non arrendersi davanti alle sfide, il desiderio di dimostrare a tutti, e in primis a se stessa, le sue abilità e che non c'è alcun motivo di trattare le donne come esseri inferiori.

Dans la lignée du premier tome, tout aussi addictif et divertissant. J’ai aimé avoir un petit peu plus d’approfondissement des personnages de Véronica et d’Angelo, même si j’espère que cela va continuer dans les tomes suivants. On fait également la connaissance de Dacia, personnage qui j’espère va continuer à être suivie dans les autres tomes. J’aime toujours autant l’héroïne, car malgré ses ambitions, elle ne rabaisse pas les autres femmes pour autant. Cependant, on découvre aussi qu’elle peut être un peu psychorigide dans ses valeurs. Et puis bon, on va dire que tout va toujours pour le mieux pour elle, elle n’affronte pas vraiment de grosses difficultés. Mais j’ai trouvé aussi pertinent dans ce tome d’aborder, en plus du sexisme, les inégalités entre les classes sociales.

Il était fréquent à cette époque d'avoir un riche mécène susceptible de commander des portraits et assurer une certaine crédibilité à l'artiste peintre. C'est ce qu'aborde l,auteur dans ce deuxième tome. Arte se voit commander un portrait par Veronica, une courtisane. Il est bon de noter que les courtisanes ne sont pas de simples putains, mais des femmes de distraction. Veronica est donc cultivée, elle lit beaucoup et entretient son apparence avec soin,en plus d'offrir ses faveurs. Pour commander un portrait, il faut être en moyen, d'ailleurs.
Bref, un autre bon tome où Arte fait ses premiers pas comme artiste.
Catégorisation: Manga Historique japonais, littérature adulte
Note:8/10

Ce deuxième tome est un peu plus profond que le premier, avec plus de réflexions sur les différences de classes sociales et les injustices liées à la naissance, mais aussi sur la misogynie intériorisée de certains personnages qui pensent à bien mais qui traitent mal les femmes sans forcément le vouloir... J'accroche vraiment à la série, c'est une belle découverte, malgré ses quelques défauts (incohérence dans le niveau de langage, familiarités qui sont propres à notre époque, et les thèmes abordés ne sont pas non plus creusés en profondeur mais ce n'est pas forcément ce qu'on attends de ce genre de manga, j'imagine).

Il ritratto che Arte deve fare a Veronica diventa occasione per la cortigiana di far capire alla ragazza che per condurre una vita autonoma non bisogna cadere vittima dei sentimenti, non lasciarsi trasportare.
È ammirevole la capacità che Arte ha di non darsi mai per vinta, di impegnarsi sempre al massimo e di non voler essere trattata con occhio di riguardo. Perché alla fine le donne non sono affatto inferiori e non devono per forza essere trattate con un occhio di riguardo.
Sono proprio curiosa di vedere come proseguono le sue avventure!

Verónica me encanta como amiga de Arte, creo que con ella puede aprender muchísimo, aunque Arte es una protagonista que al final aprende algo de todo el mundo y tiene unos valores increíbles, por eso me encanta y puedo afirmar que es una de mis protagonistas favoritas.
He flipado con todo lo que se saltaron en el anime en este tomo, medio o más! Me ha gustado ver más de Angelo y cómo Arte ya ha dejado huella en él.
También me ha encantado cómo ha manejado la situación de las esculturas.
Y a mí por lo menos de momento me ha caído bien Dacia.
A por este contrato reina!

"Arte" is a sweet but fairly simple story - original enough among mangas to keep me reading though (for now). Arte tries her best to become a professional painter but she has a long way ahead of her. She needs to learn how to be hard and stubborn in such a hostile environment and she needs to learn from the best - thus, her acquaintance with the courtesan, Veronica, will become very useful to her. I can't wait to find out what the third volume will bring.

Cada vez me gusta más esta historia y la evolución del personaje (espero que evolucione mucho más porque a veces me pone nerviosa).
Lo mejor, sin duda, ha sido ver a tantos personajes femeninos. Y el nuevo personaje de Dacia…. Bueno, yo solo espero que entre Arte y Dacia surja algo más que una amistad.
Sigue sorprendiéndome lo feminista que es.
Amo todos los personajes femeninos. Qué gusto conocerlas y seguir sus historias.

La suite des aventures d’Arte est passionnante. On plonge un peu plus dans l’univers de l’époque. C’est à la fois instructif et divertissant.
Les illustrations sont très soignées. Les visages sont très travaillés ce qui les rend expressifs. C’est très agréable à regarder.
J'ai hâte de lire la suite des aventures de cette jeune femme téméraire.
