Robilant+Voena is pleased to announce an exhibition of female Old Master and twentieth-century artists, Ahead of her Time: Pioneering Women from the Renaissance to the Twentieth Centuryopening next month in our New York gallery.

The exhibition brings together works by over twenty female artists, spanning five centuries. In addition, the exhibition includes artworks depicting, and objects owned by, notable women from artistic and intellectual spheres.

Many of the paintings and artworks have not been seen in public for decades, and the exhibition has brought to light discoveries, including an unpublished painting by Artemisia Gentileschi and exciting new attributions.

Featured artists include: Anna Maria Bassi, Mary Beale, Anna Rimbault-Borrel, Orsola Maddalena Caccia, Rosalba Carriera, Giulia Crespi, Erminia de Sanctis, Victoria Dubourg, Grace Adelaide Fletcher, Lavinia Fontana, Fede Galizia, Grace Gassette, Artemisia Gentileschi, Laura Coombs Hill, Antoinette-Cécile-Hortense Haudebourt-Lescot, Angelica Kauffmann, Catherine Lusurier, Elisabetta Marchioni, Athénaïs Paulinier, Sophie Frémiet Rude and Anne Vallayer-Coster.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with essays for each of the 35 works in the exhibition; you can read the digital version here, and the printed catalogue will be available shortly.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like further information about the exhibition or any of the available works.
