Women painters, 1780 - 1830 The birth of a battle

Written in French.

In 1765, for the first time, the Nouvelles de la République des Lettres et des Arts, in the Revue du Salon de la correspondance pour les sciences et les arts, published a section entitled "women painters".

This catalogue brings together works and documents that make it possible to understand how - i.e. under what conditions and according to what strategies - painters, because they are women, have had to learn the trade, enter the art scene, build their careers and forge their public figure.
