Women Artists in the Early Modern Courts of Europe, c. 1450.1700
presents the first collection of essays dedicated to women as
producers of visual and material culture in the Early Modern
European courts, offering fresh insights into the careers of, among
others, Caterina van Hemessen, Sofonisba Anguissola, Luisa Roldan,
and Diana Mantuana. Also considered are groups of female makers,
such as ladies-in-waiting at the seventeenth-century Medici court.
Chapters address works by women who occupied a range of social and
economic positions within and around the courts and across media,
including paintings, sculpture, prints, and textiles. Both
individually and collectively, the texts deepen understanding of
the individual artists and courts highlighted and, more broadly,
consider the variety of experiences of female makers across
traditional geographic and chronological distinctions. The book is
also accompanied by the Global Makers: Women Artists in the Early
Modern Courts digital humanities project (www.globalmakers.ua.edu),
extending and expanding the work begun here.
