From one of the oldest 16th century examples in the Prado by Sofonisba Anguissola to more recent artists in the last century such as Georgia O’Keefe, Frida Kahlo, and Leonora Carrington, this talk takes us on a journey through the history of women artists over the centuries, explaining different examples of their extraordinary quality and importance. Women artists who, fortunately, are regaining the prominence accredited by the quality of their works in museums and exhibition halls, occupying the place they deserve and which is necessary to contextualise the History of Art in a much more enriching and truthful way.
