 Old Masters Mistresses: Women Artists from the 16th to 18th Century 

Women artists across Europe, throughout the centuries, have fought to be heard and seen. They have fought to show that they can sit alongside their male counterparts and achieve what they deserve to achieve. But a Renaissance is happening. Slowly, but firmly, we are re-engaging with the triumphant women artists of our past. 

Join Rose Balston as she shines a light on European women artists from the 16th through to the 18th century. A time when women have not only been side-lined, but simply blocked out of art history. When there is only an “Old Master” and only a “Masterpiece”.  

Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, Elisabetta Sirani, Judith Leyster, Rachel Ruysch, Clara Peeters, Mary Beale, Rosalba Carriera and Angelica Kauffmann are our heroines. Throughout the series you will discover their remarkable achievements, their relentless determination, their powerful biographies, and above all their innovative and ground-breaking art.

THIS SERIES WILL BE PRE-RECORDED. EACH WEEK THE LECTURE RECORDING WILL BE RELEASED AT 4PM RATHER THAN LIVE. YOU WILL RECEIVE THE RECORDING LINK AT 4PM UK TIME.
