    Women artists, nudes and models: observation and imagination in early modern Europe

    Dr. Patricia Simons
    Professor Emerita, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; Professorial Fellow, University of Melbourne

    By exploring ways in which women artists managed to present nude figures, male and female, despite institutional barriers, this lecture takes gender analysis beyond the study of biography. The core examples are works by Lavinia Fontana (1604-13) and Angelica Kauffman (1780).
