The Forgotten Masters

How many female master painters can you name from history? If you said less than a handful, you're not alone. In fact, there were a multitude of women who achieved artistic brilliance and professional success since the early 1500s. In this video, professional artist Jill Poyerd guides the viewer through the lives of some of the most successful women painters prior to the Second World War, touching on their struggles, the limits they pushed, and how they lined up with some of the most famous masters in history. NOTE: Angelica Kauffman was a Swiss-born artist. Generally speaking, her painting life could be spit into thirds as far as residency: She lived approximately 1/3 of her life in Switzerland, 1/3 in England, and then 1/3 in Rome. The height of her career was while living in London, England.
