The Ladies of the Renaissance

Although women artists have been involved in the making of art throughout history, their work, when compared to that of their male counterparts, has been often obfuscated, overlooked and undervalued.

Many of their works have been wrongly attributed to men artists.

Renaissance Europe was not a promising place for female artists to emerge. Women were expected to marry and have children, and those who did work were not welcomed into male-dominated professions.

In fact women were unable to even receive formal art training (a cornerstone of which was the study of the figure).
