This situation is even more marked in the world of the art generally and in the world of the artists in particular. In the art history women’s are not almost present and in the world of the art’s historians no more. With this panorama, the historian of the art Linda Nochlin, in 1971 published an article, in the magazine “Artnews”, releasing the question: "Why are not there great women artists?" Nochlin throws rejects first of all the presupposition of an absence or a quasi-absence of the women in the art history because of a defect of " artistic genius ", but is not either partisan of the feminist position of an invisibility of the women in the works of art history provoked by a sexist way of the discipline.

The intelligent and artistically talented woman was seen as a miraculous person and often compared more closely to a man. Due to their extraordinary status, it can be argued that these women behaved similarly to their male counterparts in their search for special consideration and legendary status. This paper will contribute to the scholarly studies surrounding women in the visual arts in Renaissance Italy by analyzing writings, lifestyle, and the method of creation and content of the art, particularly the self-portrait paintings, of these women.

    Valeria Finucci "A Portrait of the Artist as a Female Painter": the Kunstlerroman Tradition in A. Banti's Artemisia The salient traits of the life of Artemisia Gentileschi, a seventeenth century Italian painter and follower of Caravaggio, are easy to put together. In the preface of her novel, Artemisia, which is a fictional recreation of this artist's life, Anna Banti offers a number of precise chronological remarks: "Nata nel 1598, a Roma, di famiglia pisana. Figlia di Orazio, pittore eccellente. Oltraggiata, appena giovinetta, nell'onore e nell'amore. Vittima svillaneggiata di un pubblico pro- cesso di stupro. Che tenne scuola di pittura a Napoli. Che s'azzardò, verso il 1638, nella eretica Inghilterra. Una delle prime donne che sostennero colle parole e colle opere il diritto al lavoro congeniale e a una parità di spirito tra i due sessi" (preface).^ A historical revi- sion of this painter's life and accomplishment has many times been attempted in the wake of the queer fame surrounding her adoles- cence. Critical attempts to objectively separate fiction from fact, gossip from truth, however, are starting to be successful only now that a new wave of feminist art historians is engaged in demytholo- gizing the artistic canon. For many years, even after the extensive studies of Hermann Voss and Roberto Longhi, a number of hostile critics have deliberately underrated the merits of Gentileschi the artist while stabbing Gentileschi the woman with mysoginist malevolence. The difficulty in assessing the worth of this painter comes from the fact that Gentileschi was an unconventional person in an age when females were rarely allowed to stray beyond their prescribed bound- aries.

  • Press Release Newly-Discovered Painting by Flemish Renaissance
    Press Release Newly-Discovered Painting by Flemish Renaissance Trailblazer Frans Floris to be Unveiled at TEFAF Maastricht by Carlo Orsi-Trinity Fine Art, Stand 379 16-24 March 2019 (Preview 14-15 March) Frans Floris (1519/20-1570), Susanna and the Elders, 1548, oil on panel, 154 x 181.5cm A large, newly-discovered and unpublished early work by the influential Antwerp painter, draftsman and etcher Frans Floris de Vriendt (called Floris, 1519/20-1570), more renowned in his day than Bruegel the Elder, will be unveiled at TEFAF Maastricht 2019 by Carlo Orsi-Trinity Fine Art. This important painting depicting Susanna and the Elders will form the centrepiece of the gallery’s stand. The work was completed shortly after Floris’s return from a long visit to Italy, and it reveals the artist’s careful study of Roman antiquities and the work of Italian Renaissance artists including Raphael. Floris was praised for his treatment of the nude, and in this substantial canvas, which shows the beautiful Susanna undressed and about to bathe, the artist displays a sensitivity to the handling of flesh which was exceptional in Netherlandish art at the time. Art historian Edward H. Wouk, who has written the most recent definitive work on Floris, says of the present painting: “Such sensuous images appealed to Floris’s early collectors who valued the distinctive mix of Italian form and Netherlandish technique in his work. Their patronage propelled Floris to fame as an international celebrity praised for his treatment of the body.” The work carries an asking price in the region of 700,000 euros.

Trained by her father, a regional Mannerist influenced by the Roman and Central Italian (Florence and Bologna) schools, Barbara copied many of his works and assisted him with his large altarpieces.
