Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? 12pm EST, 9am PST


Read that question again, and really, I mean really think about it. Let us consider this together by looking at how women were educated, what society expected of them, and how some women were able to achieve success despite the obstacles placed before them. 

Our focus will be painters of the 16th and 17th centuries in Italy, but we'll venture north as well. Meet an artist who intrigued Michelangelo, the best portraitist of Bologna, and another who took Caravaggism beyond even the master himself.

Time: 12pm EST, 9am PST (6pm Italy time)
