International Women’s Day - Women in Art Walking Tour

A walking Tour celebrating the contributions of women in the history of art.

For centuries History of Art has been studied through the world, achievements and eyes of men. This walking tour aims to change that narrative by taking you through the collection at the National Gallery, highlighting a wide range of themes surrounding women in art.

Discover the art of 17th century Artemisia Gentileschi, who was influenced by the naturalistic style of Caravaggio. Meet Rachel Ruysch, who throughout her career commanded more money for her art than Rembrandt ever did. Learn about the work of impressionist artist Berthe Morisot, who exhibited her art alongside Monet, Degas and Renoir, despite restrictions on her gender.

This walking tour will start at the red telephone box outside the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery.

Book now to join us in celebrating the achievements of women in art.
