Pulling Back the Curtain: Women Artists of the Baroque Era Who Shattered Conventions

In this episode of our podcast, Pulling Back the Curtain: Women Artists of the Baroque Era Who Shattered Conventions, we challenge the traditional narrative of art history by shining a spotlight on the overlooked contributions of female masters during the Baroque era. 

For centuries, the myth of the "male genius" dominated the art world, systematically excluding women from academies and guilds and leaving us with an incomplete understanding of the period. 

This episode highlights the groundbreaking work of Artemisia Gentileschi, whose personal trauma inspired masterpieces that redefined female strength and resilience. 

We also explore the achievements of other trailblazers, such as Elisabetta Sirani, a prolific painter who defied societal norms, and Clara Peeters, an innovative still-life artist whose work pushed the boundaries of her genre. 

Join us as we rediscover these remarkable artists and argue for their rightful place in the art canon, ensuring that the depth and diversity of Baroque artistry are fully appreciated.
