MA-NMWA Members have been invited to join a special event planned for the Fellows of the Harvard Art Museums: a virtual lecture on Women Artists from Antwerp to Amsterdam, 1600-1750, in partnership with and presented by Virginia Treanor, Senior Curator at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, with an introduction by Joachim Homann, Maida and George Abrams Curator of Drawings, Harvard Art Museums. Harvard Art Museums has lent art works from their collection to this significant exhibition at NMWA.
Women Artists from Antwerp to Amsterdam, 1600-1750 showcases a broad range of work by more than 40 Dutch and Flemish women artists. The exhibition is a landmark show that chronicles the pivotal role women artists played in the artistic life of the Low Countries during the 17th and 18th centuries. The more than 150 works on view - from paintings from sought after women painters, prints to sculpture, embroidery and some of the most expensive lace of the day - are a testament to women's participation in nearly all aspects of artistic culture of the era. However, as NMWA reveals, their contributions were often misattributed or overlooked in the annals of art history.
There is no charge to attend this virtual event, but current MA-NMWA Members must register to receive the login details and link. We will forward the Harvard Art Museums' link to MA-NMWA Members closer to the date.
