    The Forgotten Women Behind Renaissance Art

    The Forgotten Women Behind Renaissance Art

    Discover the women artists of the Renaissance who broke barriers and left their mark on the history of art, although they were made invisible.. The forgotten women of the Renaissance: the artists who also made history. The Renaissance is remembered as one of the most brilliant eras in the history of art.[/i It was the time when beauty, science and humanist thought came together to shape an unprecedented cultural legacy. However, behind the great names we all know -Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael- lies a lesser told story: that of the women artists who were also part of that splendor, but were relegated to oblivion.[/b This article seeks to rescue their names, stories and contributions, giving them back the place they deserve in the history of art. Because without them, the Renaissance would have been incomplete.[/b The context of the Renaissance and gender barriers. During the 15th and 16th centuries, access to artistic training was deeply gendered, and women were forbidden to study anatomy, attend academies or sign contracts as teachers. Their participation was restricted to family workshops, where they learned painting or sculpture techniques in the shadow of their fathers or brothers. Guilds and patrons-key figures for professional recognition-were dominated by men, limiting opportunities for women artists. Even so, many managed to stand out thanks to their talent and determination, defying the stereotypes of their time.
