Renaissance Rebels: The Untold Stories of Female Artists Who Defied the Odds

In this episode we uncover the remarkable contributions and resilient spirits of female creators during the Renaissance—a time when women were systematically excluded from formal education and professional guilds.

While history often celebrates legendary male figures, we shine a light on the extraordinary women like Sofonisba Anguissola and Artemisia Gentileschi, who defied societal norms to produce masterful works of art.

Discover how these trailblazing women gained expertise through family workshops or religious convents and navigated a world that prioritized domestic roles over professional artistry. From portraiture to religious painting, their achievements were often misattributed to men, but modern scholarship is finally restoring their rightful place in the art history canon. Join us as we honor this hidden legacy of creativity and explore how these pioneers continue to inspire the art world today.
