HIDDEN MASTERS: FEMALE ARTISTS OF THE MIDDLE AGES

"Women, Visions and Art" is an engrossing article providing excellent insight into the works of women artists in the Middle Ages. According to this text, the artistic contributions of medieval women often went unacknowledged, as men usually took credit for their work and art historians ignored the role of artists who weren't male. Because of the writing out of women artists from history, many of us have been denied a full, complex view of the world of medieval art. This page begins to rectify that, with a brief but very worthy article that pays homage to a small slice of women's contributions to art during the Middle Ages. Even if you're not in a reading mood, follow the link above to look at some of the fascinating, female-created works reproduced on this page.
