- Summary:
- "'Unforgettable: Women Artists from Antwerp to Amsterdam, 1600-1750' breaks the silence surrounding the vital role women played in the artistic life of the Low Countries (present-day Belgium and the Netherlands).Between 1600 and 1750, women were indispensable to the vibrant art scenes of cities such as Antwerp and Amsterdam--but their stories have long gone untold. This beautifully illustrated volume brings together, for the first time, the rich talents of more than fifty women artists. From painting and sculpture to lace-making, paper-cutting, and botanical illustration, women excelled in a wide range of art forms and played a crucial role in the flourishing art market of the time. This book restores their rightful place in the history of art, offering a broader, more inclusive perspective on the artistic legacy of the early-modern Netherlands"--Publisher's description. https://hannibalbooks.be/en/onvergetelijk-vrouwelijke-kunstenaars-van-antwerpen-tot-amsterdam-1600-1750#58046
