Abstract

"Italian women artists of the Renaissance and Baroque" aims to provide the first survey of women professionally active as painters, engravers and sculptors in 16th and 17th century Italy, and to document the socio-cultural context that contributed to shape their lives and oeuvres. This catalogue, published in association with the travelling exhibition which opens at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C., examines the artistic practices and achievements of these remarkable women who managed to gain public, if not, international acclaim. The catalogue features 60 outstanding works by a dozen of foremost Italian female artists (Properzia de' Rossi, Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, Artemisia Gentileschi, Barbara Longhi, Fede Galizia, Lucia Fretti, Chiara Varotari, Elisabetta Sirani, Orsola Maddalena Caccia, Giavanna Garzoni), and offers an unparalleled opportunity to understand their social predicaments, appreciate their personalities and assess their stylistic developments.

Abstract

Hollandse vrouwen van de zeventiende eeuw werden gezien als mooi en hardwerkend. Ze waren netjes en bazig. Wat vertellen deze beelden ons? Waren Hollandse vrouwen zo uniek, of waren de waarnemers aan het overdrijven? Zo ja, waarom dan? Dit boek brengt een aantal essays samen over het beeld van vrouwen in de Gouden Eeuw. In het eerste deel komt de beeldvorming van vrouwen in de literatuur (Jacob Cats, Bredero, …) aan bod. Het tweede deel heeft een meer sociaal-culturele aanpak met aandacht voor migratie, dienstmeisjes, architectuur en autonomie. In een derde deel worden het overschrijden van de gender codes, vrouwelijke schrijfsters en artiesten behandeld.

Abstract

"What was the role of women artists in Late Renaissance and Baroque Italy? How did they come into their own artistically in a male-dominated world? Such is the premise of the fall exhibition of the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent (MSK). Featuring some fifty paintings, the exhibition sheds light on the critical role of women painters in Italy from 1550 to 1680. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1652), arguably the most famous female artist of 17th-century Italian art, figures prominently in the exhibition, which compares her work with that of her female contemporaries. The inclusion of decorative art objects from the period serve to contextualize the works of these women. During the 16th and 17th centuries, women artists in Venice, Rome, Naples, and Bologna undeniably shared a common ground that earned them their own place in the Baroque aesthetics. These women chose to dedicate themselves to painting and, consequently, to compete with accomplished male artists and their studios...'The ladies of the baroque' shows how these painters tackled the restrictions of their time in inventive ways. To that end, the MSK has brought together an exceptional selection of works from both prestigious museum such as the Galleria degli Uffizi (Firenze), the Gemäldegalerie (Berlin) and the Galleria Borghese (Rome), as well as finds from important private collections. Many of these works have been on public display only occasionally or are presented now for the first time."-- Museum voor Schone Kunsten Gent website.
