Seminar Description

With the National Gallery in London pledging to double its holdings of work by women artists by the time its landmark Artemisia Gentileschi exhibition opens in April 2020, we are reminded that our understanding of the history of women in art is still evolving in light of newly available collections displaying the brilliance and novelty of their work. In this one-day seminar, we will journey through the Renaissance and Baroque eras to examine the pioneering women artists who pursued careers as professional painters during the era, and the challenges they faced.

One session. E – $85, L – $93.5

Alexis Culotta holds a PhD in art history and teaches in a variety of capacities, including as an adjunct lecturer at the Art Institute of Chicago and a seminar leader at the Newberry.
