Dr. Emily Fenichel
Early Modern Women Artists
Women were largely barred from the male dominated sphere of the artistic workshop in the Early Modern period. Nevertheless, a few remarkable women overcame the obstacles, were trained as artists, and became professionals in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. Dr. Emily Fenichel considers the extraordinary careers of Properzia de’ Rossi, Lavinia Fontana, Sofonisba Anguissola, and Artemisia Gentileschi, in order to understand their lives, their work, and their unique perspectives as artists and women.
