Description

The Women Artists of Bologna is a book written by Laura Maria Roberts Ragg and originally published in 1907. The book focuses on the lives and works of female artists from the city of Bologna in Italy, during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The author explores the challenges and obstacles these women faced in pursuing their artistic careers in a male-dominated society, and highlights their achievements and contributions to the art world. The book features biographical sketches of several artists, including Lavinia Fontana, Elisabetta Sirani, and Properzia de' Rossi, and includes illustrations of their artwork. The Women Artists of Bologna is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of women in art, Italian Renaissance and Baroque art, and the cultural and social context of Bologna during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
