COLNAGHI presents a stunning painting by one of the most fascinating artists of the seventeenth century, Michaelina Wautier

COLNAGHI is delighted to present a painting by one of the most fascinating and accomplished artists of the seventeenth century, Michaelina Wautier. At a time when women artists were largely confined to still lifes and genre scenes, Wautier distinguished herself through her mastery of portraiture and ambitious history painting. Diogenes Reading, painted around 1650, is a recent rediscovery and a significant addition to the remarkably small body of works securely attributed to her. This important painting offers new insight into Wautier’s intellectual depth and artistic range. Learn more in the press release...

MICHAELINA WAUTIER (Mons 1604 - c. 1689 Brussels), DIOGENES READING, c. 1650, Oil on canvas, 48.5 x 45 cm
