Making Her Mark: A History of Women Artists in Europe, 1400-1800
Published on October 9, 2023
For centuries, women artists in Europe were considered rare and less talented than their male counterparts. Women who achieved professional artistic careers were deemed anomalous or exceptional, while those who engaged in creative pursuits in the home were dismissed as amateurs, and their works were categorized as material culture rather than art.
This exhibition aims to correct these broadly held but mistaken beliefs through more than 175 works from the 15th to 18th centuries that reflect the multifaceted and often overlooked ways that women contributed to the visual arts of Europe.
Examples by such artists as Sofonisba Anguissola, Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Leyster, Luisa Roldán, Rosalba Carriera, Rachel Ruysch, and Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun among others will be on view.
The exhibition takes place October 1, 2023 – January 7, 2024 at the Baltimore Museum of Art, 10 Art Museum Dr., Baltimore, MD 21218.
