This summer, we will bring together the work of the first British female artists for an exhibition in London. “Bright Souls”: The Forgotten Story of Britain’s First Female Artists, featuring works kindly loaned from both museums and private collections, will show how the 17th Century artists Joan Carlile, Mary Beale and Anne Killigrew managed to achieve success in an age when women had few career options, and even fewer rights.
The exhibition, the first ever devoted to Britain’s pioneering female artists, will be held at our London gallery, and will include self-portraits of all three artists. The exhibition will be curated by art historian, Dr Bendor Grosvenor.
