Women in Art: Artemisia Gentileschi & Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun

Artemisia Gentileschi and Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun were two trailblazing women who defied societal expectations to make their mark in the art world. Artemisia, a Baroque master, channeled personal struggle into her dramatic, emotionally charged works. At the same time, Élisabeth became one of the most sought-after portraitists of the 18th century, best known for her depictions of Marie-Antoinette. Though their styles and lives differed, both women carved paths in a male-dominated field, leaving behind legacies that continue to inspire.Artemisia Gentileschi Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun--Looking to support the show?
