Artemisia Gentileschi and Wily Women Artists of Italy, 1550 to 1776

Eve Strassman-Pflanzer is curator and head of Italian and Spanish paintings at the National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC). She will give a talk exploring the pathways and pitfalls for women artists in early modern Italy, revealing connections to the present and offering a portal to the past. While Artemisia Gentileschi is the most famous, there were hundreds of other women who worked as artists in the period who have yet to receive their due. Free and open to all. SBU students encouraged to attend.
