Two women\npainter s with notable accomplishments\, Judith Leyster (1609-60) and\nArtemisia G entileschi (1593-1653)\, emerged in the 17th century in Europe.\nLeyster w as part of the Dutch Golden Age of painting\, dominated notably by\nRembra ndt (1606-69)\, Frans Hals (1582-1666)\, and Johannes Vermeer\n(1632-75). Gentileschi represents the era of the Italian Baroque\, whose\nmost imp ortant painters were Caravaggio (1571-1610) and Annibale Carracci\n(1560-1 609).
Not surprisingly\, both women’s work and artistic\nreput ations were affected by aspects of their personal experiences. \nAlthough Leyster was highly regarded during her lifetime\, her name faded\ninto ob scurity as her paintings were attributed either to her husband or to\nFran s Hals until late in the 19th century. Gentileschi’s stature\nsuffered a different fate. Like Leyster she was well regarded\, and she\ntravele d widely on commission during her lifetime. But her work was\noverlooked in subsequent centuries\, and even when she was rediscovered in\nthe earl y 20th century\, her accomplishments were overshadowed by the story\nof he r rape by one of her colleagues.
This lecture will examine\nsimilar ities and differences in the paintings of these two artists. What\nare t he shared Baroque elements in both? How did the enormous impact of\nCarava ggio show up in both women’s work? What aspects of their\npaintings ar e attributable to their shared gender? And how did their\ngender impact their career paths? These and other questions will be\nconsidered. These important women artists have recently begun receiving the\nart historical attention they deserve.
