Celebrating women artists
Women artists were airbrushed from history for too long. It is time for a change! On this International Women's Rights Day, Art Explora honors the producers of content that give female artists the recognition they deserve. Discover our selection of podcasts and videos series to (re)discover those women artists.

Today on the Podcast, Stauney introduces us to Sofonisba Anguilsola, one of the earliest recorded female artists we know of. At the height of the Italian Renaissance, she studied under some of the best-known artists of her time and created a path in the field of painting that allowed many female painters to step further out into the professional artistic field than would have ever been possible before her. We talk about her progressive childhood, artistic education, pen-pal Michaelangelo, time in the Spanish court as a lady-in-waiting, and forbidden love affair with a sea captain!
