Exhibition Celebrating Women Artists from the 16th to 17th Centuries at Palazzo Braschi in Rome

From October 25th until March 23rd 2025, Palazzo Braschi in Rome will be hosting an exhibition celebrating women artists from the 16th to 17th centuries. This exhibition, entitled Roma Pittrice. Artiste al lavoro tra XVI e XIX secolo, is running at Palazzo Braschi alongside the exhibit Laudato sie; nature and science, displaying Franciscan manuscripts.

This exhibit is comprised of over 130 works by 56 different female artists from the time period. The main goal of the exhibition is to display the works of female artists whose works were overlooked due to their male contemporaries. A lot of the works on display are sourced from museums around Rome, but there are pieces sourced from prestigious museums around the world; including the Uffizi gallery in Florence, Italy. Some well known artists included in this exhibition are Artemisia Gentileschi and Lavinia Fontana, among numerous other lesser known artists.
