Michaelina Wautier 1604-1689. Glorifying a Forgotten Talent

The catalogue accompanied the first exhibition ever on the oeuvre of Michaelina Wautier. She was exceptional as a female artist, turning her hand to all genres, excelling at portrait, history, still life, and everyday scenes. Her paintings display a power of observation that is reminiscent of the great Baroque painters of her day, certainly on a par with if not even more astonishing than her Italian counterpart, Artemisia Gentileschi. Wautier’s oeuvre today consists of around thirty paintings and one drawing.
