Women Artist of the 16th Century[edit]
Judith Leyster[edit]
Judith Leyster was the daughter of weavers and the eighth of nine children [1]. She was not born into a traditional artistic family, but insisted on becoming a painter which was supported by her family [1]. It is mentioned that she could have developed the love of art such as the figures through her parents possibly showing their embroidered fibers [1]. Which Leyster's parents choosing to allow their children to chose their choice of study outside of the family business [1]. She decided to study painting between the age of 11 and 16 [1].During her teens a connection was established between the Leysters' and historical painter Frans Peters de Grebber, whom came in into contact with her parents for the love of their embroidered designed fabrics, where her talents started being more notable and working as his apprentice for years before opening her own studio [1]. She eventually became the first woman to join the Harleem Guild, more powerful than a labor union but less democratic [2]. Leyster's work was seen as masculine, along with others such as Artemisia Gentileschi [3]. During this male dominated era, feminine wasn't the word to describe her work then and now, how her work showed vigorous and exuberant techniques not seen in many female artist at the time, which deemed recognition much later [3]. As the years had passed, Lesyster's work was overlooked by many for over two centuries before she was introduced into historical studies [1].
