Ingenious women.
Women Artists and their Companions

14.10.2023 — 28.1.2024

The exhibition traces the careers of outstanding women artists over three centuries. For the first time, the artists’ family circumstances will be explored and made visible by juxtaposing their works with those of their fathers, brothers, husbands, and fellow painters. Women artists were extraordinarily successful in any family constellation: they became court painters, teachers, entrepreneurs, but also publishers and they received the highest awards.

The exhibition presents around 100 works by Sofonisba Anguissola, Judith Leyster, Marietta Robusti (Tintoretto‘s daughter), Artemisia Gentileschi and Angelika Kauffmann, among others, including portraits, still lifes and history paintings from the Renaissance to Baroque and early Classicism.
