Session Title: The Female Painters of the Eighteenth Century.
Session Statement:
Chair: TBA
The lives of female painters are often embellished with sensational anecdotes by their biographers. Often these anecdotes are dismissed by art historians as fictitious chaff. But are there kernels of truth that might in fact be gleaned from these fascinating passages? This special session sheds new light on Italian female painters of the eighteenth century.

Julia Dabbs, University of Minnesota, Morris.
