For a variety of reasons, the female artists of the early-modern
period who had the opportunity to pursue an artistic career can be
counted on the fingers of one hand. So it is hardly surprising that
until recently even connoisseurs of painting were unfamiliar with
the name Michaelina Wautier. This is the first book about this
forgotten painter, many of whose works were once ascribed to
better-known male contemporaries. Michaelina Wautier was born in
Mons but pursued a career in Brussels, in the courtly circle around
Leopold Wilhelm, governor of the Habsburg Netherlands. The archduke
himself acquired several of her works, which, with the rest of his
renowned collection, ended up in Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum.
About thirty paintings survive that can be identified as
Michaelina's. She produced penetrating portraits, masterly
large-scale history paintings, disarming genre scenes. and refined
floral still lifes. Just like Artemesia Gentileschi in Italy and
Judith Leyster in the Dutch republic, the versatile Michaelina,
whose pictures display challengng themes and technical virtuosity,
uniquely enriched Baroque painting.
