Description

Enter the Uffizi Gallery and embark on a journey through time, exploring the often-overlooked contributions of women artists. Discover the stories of women who painted, imagined, and dared, intertwining their narratives with those of male masters. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, being a woman and an artist meant living balanced between vocation and prohibition. The workshops were men's, the study of anatomy was prohibited, and the academies were closed. Yet, despite the obstacles, some of them were able to assert themselves with extraordinary strength. See works by Sofonisba Anguissola, who transformed limitation into language with her psychological portraits. Admire Fede Galizia's still lifes, which speak with silent power of balance and attention. Discover Lavinia Fontana's elegant depictions of women, Giulia Lama's figures that seek to exist, and Artemisia Gentileschi's paintings as acts of vindication. See Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun's portraits of Marie Antoinette, embodying female success in Ancien Régime society, and Rosalba Carriera's pastels, capturing the lightness of 18th-century Venice. Next to them, Botticelli's Venus and Spring become a counterpoint: the woman observed as a symbol, no longer a subject. This tour is not just a visit, but an identity and cultural experience. It is an invitation to review art with new eyes, to recognize the creative force of women who, despite silences and erasures, have never stopped speaking.
