MAIDS & GODDESSES
Since women were denied formal artistic education at academies until the 19th century, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun and Angelica Kauffman count among the few successful female artists of their time.
This guided tour not only focuses on these two painters, but also on 18th- and 19th-century artworks depicting women.
The Princely Collections offer a wide range of representations – from grand neoclassical portraits to intimate Biedermeier genre scenes. You’ll encounter everything from a princess portrayed as a Greek goddess to a curious maidservant.
Meet devout, dreamy, and self-assured women and explore how their portrayal evolved in a period when art increasingly sought to reflect character rather than social class.
