Though female artists and artisans were often relegated to the shadows of 17th- and 18th-century Dutch and Flemish culture, they made notable contributions to the artistic economies of the time. Some of the most prized lace was produced in women’s workshops. Other women excelled in paper cuttings and prints, or acted as wealthy patrons. This exhibition highlights the roles of women in nearly every stage of artistic production, bringing together 150 works by 40 artists—including Michaelina Wautier, Clara Peeters, and Rachel Ruysch—from 1600 to 1750. These works once circulated quietly among aristocratic patrons even as they were excluded from the history books. —Elena Clavarino
