Nameless and Friendless. “The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, etc.” - Proverbs, x, 15 1857
Discover Women Artists from Tudor times to the First World War, such as Mary Beale, Angelica Kauffman, Elizabeth Butler and Laura Knight.
Find out how they challenged what it meant to be a working woman of the time by going against society’s expectations – having commercial careers as artists and taking part in public exhibitions.
Including over 150 works, the show dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history, who were often thought of as amateurs.
The exhibition sheds light on how these artists championed equal access to art training and academy membership, breaking boundaries and overcoming many obstacles to establish what it meant to be a woman in the art world.
