Discuss about the women who

during the puiod of Renaissance in europe​

Answer 1

Answer:

Being a female artist in Europe between the 15th and 17th centuries was, unsurprisingly, incredibly difficult. In the Cinquecento in Italy, for example, leading male artists were crowned with the term virtuoso (which translates to “mortal god”), while women artists were widely overlooked and given few opportunities to create. But they still did.

The women, several of whom are listed below, weren’t fazed by critics who said the painter’s brush is “more manly,” or the dim minds who referred to them as the more “passive sex.” These women fervently fought back, developing innovative painting techniques and advancing younger generations of female artists, teaching them to eschew the men who would try to stifle their development. And now their legacies have become more plain to see than ever, thanks to long-overdue museum exhibitions and market recognition: The Flemish Baroque sensation Clara Peeters has currently taken over Museo del Prado with a major solo show, and auction sales are strong for Elisabetta Sirani. Meanwhile, Artemisia Gentileschi, her contemporary, is the focus of a show at Rome’s Palazzo Braschi, and her auctioned works fetch well above their million-dollar estimates.
