Artemisia, Sofonisba, and the others
Inspiring Female Panthers from the Late Renaissance to the XX Century

Artemisia Gentileschi, Sofonisba Anguissola, Marietta Robusti are only a few of the many female Artists of the Italian Renaissance: in this Invite Only Exclusive Virtual Tour, we will explore the lives and the artwork of these great artists and their masterpieces.

🌷 Celebrating Women Painters: A Tribute for International Women's Day 🌷

On the occasion of International Women's Day, we wish to pay homage to the extraordinary women who have made an indelible mark in the world of art. Often art has depicted women as the muse, from the divine figures of Greek and Roman goddesses to the captivating baroque nymphs, through the representations of Madonnas, Saints, Renaissance ladies, and Baroque queens. However, despite their constant presence as the subject of art, female painters have been less visible, especially before the 20th century.

🎨 A Virtual Journey Through Revolutionary Women Painters 🎨

With The Grand Tour, we invite you on a virtual journey to discover some of the most influential women painters in history. From Artemisia Gentileschi, whose dramatic life inspired works of incredible strength and expression, to the celebrated Sofonisba Anguissola, a pioneer in portraiture who paved the way for women in art. Let's not forget Marietta Robusti, with her touching story, and the female painters of the 20th century who challenged the boundaries of art.

This special tribute is dedicated to you, our most devoted supporters, as a sign of gratitude for your continuous support. By celebrating the lives and works of these extraordinary women, we aim to inspire and remember their invaluable contribution to art and culture.
