The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC will be opening their latest exhibition Women Artists from Antwerp to Amsterdam, 1600-1750 later this month.
According to the museum's website:
Women Artists from Antwerp to Amsterdam, 1600-1750 showcases a broad range of work by more than forty Dutch and Flemish women artists, including Gesina ter Borch, Maria Faydherbe, Anna Maria de Koker, Judith Leyster, Magdalena van de Passe, Clara Peeters, Rachel Ruysch, Maria Tassaert, Jeanne Vergouwen, Michaelina Wautier, and more. Presenting an array of paintings, lace, prints, paper cuttings, embroidery, and sculpture, this exhibition draws on recent scholarship to demonstrate that a full view of women’s contributions to the artistic economy is essential to understanding Dutch and Flemish visual culture of the period.
The show will run from 26th September 2025 until 11th January 2025 and will then reopen at the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent, Belgium, in March.
