Old Mistresses Turn Tables on Old Masters
The Prado rewrites the male-dominated canon with the celebration of two overlooked female painters of the Renaissance.
This year the Prado is celebrating its 200th anniversary, and the good news is that the female presence in its galleries has been winningly expanded with “A Tale of Two Women Painters: Sofonisba Anguissola and Lavinia Fontana.” The historically revelatory show, which remains on view until Feb. 2, brings together about 60 works by two 16th-century Italian artists who were celebrated in their lifetimes but rudely forgotten after their deaths.
