The course focuses on women’s presence as artists, patrons, and subjects in the art of Rome, through major artistic periods: antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Baroque. The richness of monuments and works of art in the Eternal City provides ample evidence for direct analysis and discussions in the light of women’s studies. Special attention will be given to the consideration of the specific historical contexts. The last part of the course is a monographic study of the Roman-born Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. The course considers not only the life and career of this woman artist in its historical context, but also the impulse the study of her experience has given to women’s studies in the field of the history of art.
