Exceptional Paintings by Women Artists

Description

Few 18th and 19th century European and American women could attend art school, study anatomy or view nude models. Most painted portraits, family, nature and still life; only a few dared historical and mythological subjects. In this course, you’ll learn about ten exceptional female painters from these centuries, as you view slideshows of more than fifty of their best paintings. Our artists, most neglected by male art historians, will include Angelica Kauffman, Elisabeth Le Brun and three Impressionists – Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt and Bostonian Lilla Cabot Perry, among others.
