Judith Slaying Holofernes, Artemisia Gentileschi, Oil on canvas, c. 1612-1613
Amidst the echoes of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, this exhibition serves as a testament to the often overlooked but undeniably profound contributions of female artists during the Renaissance. In an era dominated by male artists, women fought to have their voices heard. Women had few opportunities to pursue artistic training or work as professional artists. Explore the minds of some of the most impactful women during the Renaissance, including Sofonisba Anguissola, Artemisia Gentileschi, Lavinia Fontana, Fede Galizia, and Judith Leyster.
