Women artists in Europe c.1400-1800

Women in c.1400-1800 contributed actively to artistic production in Europe, but their achievements have often been overlooked. We will find out how women developed their artistic practices during the Late Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Enlightenment periods. The art which we will consider will include manuscript illuminations, paintings and sculptures. These artworks will be considered within the context of Feminist Art Theory as well as recent exhibitions to highlight the legacy of women artists across Europe.
