Book Launch: Women Artists in the Early Modern Courts of Europe, 1450-1700

Amsterdam University Press
Friday, September 24, 2021, NOON EST, Join us Via Zoom
With AUP Acquisitions Editor, Erika Gaffney, volume editor, Tanja L. Jones, and volume contributors Catherine Hall-van den Elsen, Adelina Modesti, and Maria Maurer

Women Artists in the Early Modern Courts of Europe, c. 1450.1700 presents the first collection of essays dedicated to women as producers of visual and material culture in the Early Modern European courts, offering fresh insights into the careers of, among others, Caterina van Hemessen, Sofonisba Anguissola, Luisa Roldán, and Diana Mantuana. Also considered are groups of female makers, such as ladies-in-waiting at the seventeenth-century Medici court. Chapters address works by women who occupied a range of social and economic positions within and around the courts and across media, including paintings, sculpture, prints, and textiles. Both individually and collectively, the texts deepen understanding of the individual artists and courts highlighted and, more broadly, consider the variety of experiences of female makers across traditional geographic and chronological distinctions. The book is also accompanied by the Global Makers: Women Artists in the Early Modern Courts digital humanities project (www.globalmakers.ua.edu), extending and expanding the work begun here.
