Nevertheless, She Persisted: Artemisia’s Adventures

The Wadsworth Atheneum is hosting a special lecture on October 28 supported by the Trinity College Department of Fine Arts, in conjunction with their exhibition, By Her Hand: Artemisia Gentileschi and Women Artists in Italy, 1500 – 1800.

The women artists in By Her Hand are outstanding for their persistence and their talents. Elizabeth Cropper, Dean Emerita of the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, will focus on the persistence and fortitude of Artemisia Gentileschi, suggesting that we still have much to learn from her life and work despite the advances of women, and especially women artists, over the centuries. Free and open to the public. Registration is strongly encouraged.

5pm exhibition viewing, 6pm lecture
