Now You See Us Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920

Spanning 400 years, this exhibition follows women on their journeys to becoming professional artists. Including over 150 works from Tudor times to the First World War, the show dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history, who were often thought of as amateurs. Determined to succeed and refusing to be boxed in, they daringly painted what were usually thought to be subjects for male artists: history pieces, battle scenes and the nude.

The exhibition sheds light on how these artists championed equal access to art training and academy membership, breaking boundaries and overcoming many obstacles to establish what it meant to be a woman in the art world.

The exhibition takes place from May 16 – October 13, 2024 at Tate Britain, Millbank, London SW1P 4RG, UK.
