Despite the increased visibility of Victorian women artists in
museum exhibitions and historical studies, the art produced by
Victorian women has been viewed through a restrictive lens.
Scholars have focused on works produced for the marketplace, but
have overlooked art created and displayed outside of established
venues and institutions of higher learning. Drawing upon sketches,
paintings, and photographs, Intrepid Women: Victorian Artists
Travel is a groundbreaking study that examines the art that women
produced whilst traveling, as well as the circumstances that took
these artists - both amateurs and professionals - far beyond the
reaches of the traditional Grand Tour. Traveling throughout the
British Empire, including the Middle East, India, Canada, and North
Africa, and even to the Americas, the artists adapted to new climes
and foreign cultures partially by documenting the unfamiliar
through their art, sometimes at great physical risk. This volume of
essays offers fresh evidence that through their travel and art,
women extended both geographic and social boundaries. Each author
presents evidence that women overcame institutional as well as
cultural obstacles to improve their artistic skills and to use
their art to convey worlds most British citizens would never see
for themselves.
