Michaelina Wautier “The Triumph of Bacchus”
Now here is an artist who could paint! The first ever exhibition for a long-forgotten 17th-century female artist is to be held at the Rubens House in Antwerp in 2018. Michaelina Wautier is probably the first woman who successfully painted works in nearly all the genres—portraits, history pictures, still-lifes and scenes of everyday life. At that time most successful Flemish female artists specialized in flower compositions. Looks like this is going to be a very impressive exhibit.
