march 22, 2021 - Palazzo Reale Milano
From 2 March 2021 Palazzo Reale in Milan is hosting the first major exhibition devoted to ‘The Ladies of Art’, extraordinarily talented women artists active between the 16th and 17th century, who can finally be seen in all their splendour.
Over 130 works by 34 artists, including #artemisiagentileschi, #sofonisbaanguissola, Lavinia
Fontana, Elisabetta Sirani, Giovanna Garzoni and many others, which tell the incredible stories of talented, “modern” women.
From 2 March to 25 July 2021, the rooms of Palazzo Reale in Milan are hosting a unique exhibition
devoted to the iconic women artists who lived between the 16th and 17th century: Artemisia
Gentileschi, #sofonisbaanguissola, #laviniafontana, Elisabetta Sirani, Fede Galizia, Giovanna
Garzoni are just a few of them. Promoted by Milan City Council–Culture and produced by Palazzo Reale and Arthemisia, with the support of Fondazione Bracco, the exhibition is part of the programme I talenti delle donne (Women’s Talents) organized by the Department of Culture of the Milan City Council. The programme is dedicated to the feminine universe, focusing throughout 2020 and until April 2021 on their works, their priorities and their skills.
The show ‘Le Signore dell’Arte. Storie di donne tra ’500 e ’600’ (The Ladies of Art. Stories of
women between the 16th and 17th century), rediscovers the art and the extraordinary lives of 34
different women artists through over 130 works. Testimonies of intense, lively all-female creativity, in a unique exhibition that tells the inspiring stories of women who were already “modern”. They include celebrated artists, others less familiar to the general public, and new discoveries, like the Roman noblewoman Claudia del Bufalo, who is making her debut in this story of female art. There areworks on show for the first time, such as the Madonna dell’Itria Altarpiece by #sofonisbaanguissola, executed in Paternò, Sicily, in 1578, which has never left the island before; the Immaculate Madonna and St Francesco Borgia altarpiece of 1663 by Rosalia Novelli, the only work attributed with certainty to the artist, which is leaving the church of Gesù di Casa Professa in Palermo for the first time, and the Mystic Marriage of St Catherine of 1576, by Lucrezia Quistelli, from the parish church of Silvano Pietra in the province of Pavia.
The works selected for the exhibition, under the curatorship of Anna Maria Bava, Gioia Mori and Alain Tapié, come from no less than 67 different lenders, including many Italian museums, namely the Gallerie degli Uffizi, Museo di Capodimonte, Pinacoteca di Brera, Castello Sforzesco, Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria, Galleria Borghese, Musei Reali in Turin, the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Bologna, and international institutions such as the Musée des Beaux Arts in Marseille and Muzeum Narodowe in Poznan, Poland.
