🎨 Tonight I’m heading to a lecture at the NGV on Elisabetta Sirani, one of the most fascinating female artists of the Baroque period. 🎨✨
Born in 1638 in Bologna, Sirani was a highly talented painter who gained recognition in a male-dominated art world and became known for her religious, historical, and mythological works. She also helped pave the way for other women artists by founding a school for female painters.
As someone who paints and loves art history, I can’t wait to learn more about her life, work, and legacy. 🎨
