HIS SECTION includes sources on Diana Mantovana (aka Ghisi, aka Scultori); Teresa del Pò; Giulia Lama; Angelique Mongez; and Angelica Kauffman. It was a challenge to find material on these women (except for Kauffman, who is the subject of many more studies than shown here), but each deserves further research.
Obviously, these are only a few of the many women artists who worked before 1800. Try the books on my General list or on the Varo Registry’s list for other artists.Diana Mantovana, aka Ghisi, aka Scultori
