Class Details

Despite obstacles, a number of Italian, Dutch, and Flemish women managed to become professional artists between c.1550 and c.1700. Artemisia Gentileschi remains the best known, but others also deserve attention (e.g., Judith Leyster, Michaelina Woutiers, Sofonisba Anguissola, and Elisabetta Sirani). In this tutorial, we will examine how they presented themselves in self-portraits, the extent to which their interpretation and even choice of subjects differed from that of male colleagues, and how the critical appraisal of their life and work changed over time.
