In 2009 I taught a course called “Women and Art in Early Modern Italy<\/strong>“. The course situates the role of women in Renaissance and Baroque Italian art: as persons depicted, as patrons, and as producers. Topics covered are<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the moral, social, and religious models for women as they were constructed both implicitly and explicitly through visual art and literature<\/li>\n
  2. female patronage – the limits to which women were subjected in this field of public expression<\/li>\n
  3. biographies of and works by female artists.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The women and art bibliography<\/strong> below this reflects these three branches of the field.<\/p>\n
