DESCRIPTION:Mar 27 - Jun 21\, 2026\nMichaelina Wautier (1614–1689) painte
 d in Brussels at a time when women were barred from academies\, forbidden 
 from studying the nude\, and discouraged from attempting the grand paintin
 gs that made reputations. She did these things anyway—producing portrait
 s\, vast religious scenes\, and Bacchanalian spectacles—and earned accla
 im. When she died\, her work was reassigned to her brother and other male 
 contemporaries\, and she all but disappeared. The rediscovery of Wautier b
 egan in 1993\, when the art historian Katlijne Van der Stighelen found her
  monumental Triumph of Bacchus gathering dust in Vienna’s Kunsthistorisc
 hes Museum. The canvas was so large and so assured that scholars had assum
 ed no woman could have painted it. The Royal Academy has now mounted the f
 irst U.K. exhibition devoted to the long-lost artist\, bringing together 2
 5 paintings.
