Books in this sub-series critically reappraise the lives and works of female artists in Europe from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth century.
The series Illuminating Women Artists launches at a critical moment in contemporary culture. It marks a significant intervention within the broader movement underway among scholars, museums, collectors, and the wider world of cultural heritage to make evident and contextualise historically the contributions of women artists. As such, the books, each written by a leading specialist in the field of art history, will appeal to audiences from the academic sphere to the general public. Beautifully illustrated, the volumes collectively offer an unprecedented visual contextualisation of the lives and works of their subjects, to whom in some cases a monograph had yet to be dedicated. Many of the women represented by the volumes were celebrated professional artists in their own eras, yet their names and works have not been passed down continually in the history of art. As the first series dedicated to correcting this omission, the books interweave established conclusions with new discoveries to reframe how women’s artistic production is approached and understood.
