Making Her Mark: A History of Women Artists in Europe, 1400-1800

Andaleeb Badiee Banta, senior curator and department head, prints, drawings & photographs at The Baltimore Museum of Art

Join Art Seminar Group for a talk and tour of Making Her Mark: A History of Women Artists in Europe, 1400-1800. For centuries, women artists in Europe were considered rare and less talented than their male counterparts. Women who achieved professional artistic careers were deemed anomalous or exceptional, while those who engaged in creative pursuits in the home were dismissed as amateurs - their works categorized as material culture. Making Her Mark, the BMA’s much anticipated major exhibition opening October 1, 2023, aims to correct these mistaken beliefs through more than 200 works of diverse media and scale. From royal portraits and devotional sculptures to embroidered objects, tapestries, costumes, wax sculptures, metalwork, ceramics, graphic arts, furniture, and more, Making Her Mark features objects from the 15th to 18th centuries that reflect the ways that women contributed to the visual arts of Europe.
