- Throughout history, women have often faced significant challenges and obstacles, particularly in male-dominated fields such as art. Despite these difficulties, many female artists have created powerful and impactful works that reflect their experiences as women. These works not only showcase their artistic talents but also provide insights into the female experience, offering perspectives that have often been overlooked or marginalized. By exploring paintings done by women of women, we can gain a deeper understanding of the diverse and rich range of female experiences throughout history and across cultures, and begin to reshape the narrative.

love how *some* men in the comments only clicked on this video to ignore it blatantly and turn everything sexist again... talk about missing the point entirely and dismissing women yet again
Susanna and the elders is one of my favourite paintings, even though I get filled with rage when I look at it 😂
If you were born a woman, you see the female figure differently you understand your own body and what’s around it, and how it influences how others see you.
In UA-cam, you can pretty much see this difference in the art community as well.
Doesn’t matter if gay or straight, it’s spot on when the person painting or sculpting a woman isn’t one.
Hahah in an artist and i use my own body as visual reference a-lot, since all i have to do is look down. I have a good understanding of muscles and fat distribution as a result, it is so useful and i feel proud i can use this knowledge to work backwards and represent others that don’t look like me
You can even read the difference in how male vs female writers shape female characters.
Saying you can tell someone’s gender by how they paint women is batshit crazy. Gender essentialism is one hell of a drug.
wow its almost like if your colourblind you can understand what being colorblind is better than everyone and the same aplies to everithing, to disability from being a man 🤯
@@escitalopram15mg61 agreed but also you can't deny someone's background like asigned gender at birth could be reflected in their pieces (not arguing btw)
Hanna Paulis portrait of Venny Soldan-Brofeldt from 1887 is my favorite woman painting women. It was very controversial during its time since Hanna didn't pant her friend idealised, but as she saw her, her tired artist friend sitting tired on the floor. It's such a beautiful portrait
Great to see these talented women get the recognition they deserve!
This video is seriously underrated. It should have way more likes, it's an awesome video
This is so interesting-- I've only considered the female gaze in a more contemporary context, but knowing that this has been consistent throughout history recontextualizes it, and makes me question and think about the world. This is a great video! Well done.
This was so pleasurable to watch. A very important topic and everyone should watch this
This was phenomenal. Every single painting chosen was thought provoking, and I'll be looking into several of the artists featured.
I’m a figurative artist with lots of self portraits behind me. I painted myself as a sexualized green space alien as a way of mocking the male gaze. Thanks for making this video.
Would love to see more about female artists throughout history!
Fantastic video - so educational and inspiring, excellent production value - you must spend so much time and effort - thank-you.
My pleasure! ❤️🙏
Age 17?? yeah im cooked.
artemisia gentileschi didn't have any other education. and she learned to paint from her father (orazio gentileschi), while she was still growing up.
you are not lagging behind, she was just specialized in her field.
Times were different back then but also there are other artists that started painting very late.
baroque era italian ling ling 😔 we’re cooked
Wow this was a great video! I love the last piece, Propped bc it reminds me that I dont have to follow the standard beauty depiction of art, I want this painting, even just the printed on my home a big one so I can remind myself everyday that I will draw whatever I want however I want without being pressured with my over thinking self
Those quilts are very impressive!
Even in modern art now, women drawing women always look so captivating for how they portray them but isn't as praised as men drawing women. I personally recommend maika sozo's, its amazing and her art looks painterly even for digital. shes an amazing artist
thank you for your sharing, ive learnt a lot
Brilliant topic
It was an awsome video, congratulation! I am huge fan of your work, I am brazilian and I just missed an artwork from Tarsila do Amaral called "Abapuru", our greatest masterpiece. Thank you for showing all these amazing artists!
Mas o objetivo do vídeo é mostrar mulheres que pintaram mulheres, o Abaporu acaba não se encaixando
This is amazing thank you!!!
The only channel I'm subscribed to on UA-cam. Keep doing this, thank you!
She’s so pretty!
this is gold!!
Thank you for this video
I can't believe you didn't mention Paula Rego!! Great video anyways👏
i love this sm
As a guy I've finally learned how to draw the eyes at times... Less is more

Louise Vigee Le Brun looks Like Sasha Ronan lol (Irish actress)
The fact that "propped" by Jenny Saville was out shown by a man (supposedly anyway) honestly just spits in its face. If "love in the bin" is a critique of the selling of art then he's basically saying that such an achievement for her and all women is worthless.
im a bit sad you didnt include zinaida, her portrayal of womenhood and her own self is so genuinely loving, she left a huge impression on me when i first got to know about her
I have a question, often I've been under the impression that (in certain periods) the main form of education a woman could get for some time was art lessons (amongst sewing and embroidery) so if that's the case why were women so unrecognised in the field or disrespected by men?
I mean I assume it's just classic misogyny but still, it's confusing.
It’s my impression that young women were once taught watercolor painting in much the same way as they were taught embroidery or playing the piano. It was part and parcel of being a lady. You painted little pictures of the flowers in your garden, or scenes from a trip in a journal, or you entertained guests with a passable turn at the piano. You were NOT expected to do any of these things professionally, indeed, doing any of them professionally was out of the question.
I think you can see examples of this exact sexist nonsense in other fields. Cooking is women's work, but professional chefs were mostly men. Sewing was women's work, but the "best" designers were men. Women learned piano but composers were often men. Historically, women have just not been taken seriously in most professional fields, even in the fields that are supposed to be "ours"
It wasn't uncommon for women to understudy to influential male artists, often in exchange for modeling. Of course, because the women were being objectified as models they were considered more useful as props by their male peers and shuttered out of the world of gallery exhibitions. Elizabeth Siddall is a great example as well of how male artists abused their models. Elizabeth wished to study to become an artist herself and was told to model in exchange. She famously modeled for the painting Ophelia by John Everett Millias, and it nearly killed her. She wasn't able to persue much of a career after that.
It was seen as more of a hobby then professional. I guess people simply tolerated women doing certain hobbies as long as they were not considered "professional". Actually, this mirrors chefs. More women cook then men, generally, due to old held ideas that women stay in the kitchen. However, despite this most "professional" chefs are men.

As a working artists this is information that should be made more public. Thank You .Yet the voice seems AI. And really threw off.
WOMAN WOMAN WOMAN WOMAN!!!
I am not a fan of what the women’s movement has become, so it was refreshing to find your informative, engaging and straightforward, without being combative, presentation. Your observations on Artemesia G’s departure from traditional, male-centered artistic norms was excellent. Shoot, it was all excellent, and I enjoyed the introduction to several artists with whom I was not familiar. Many thanks!
To be very clear, then elders are NOT the main characters of the tale of Susanna, in fact they are both sentenced to death at the end.
So just as men
Another great videos with less political speech is "The Forgotten Masters" series by Jill Poyerd: ua-cam.com/video/cRtJ_PZJab0/v-deo.html
I've been painting women as beautiful se×ual creatures since I was a child. I'm lucky to have grown up to kind of look like my own art. I don't think there is anything wrong with artists or women embracing se×uality and even allowing it to empower them. Does not mean you have to actually go out and use your body to do the actual act. I'm a dedicated wife but I do have this secret side to my personality and it comes out through my art. That's how I express it and how beautiful I think the female figure is in general.
There's nothing wrong with sexuality. But when it's used to diminish or dehumanize people, that's the problem.
Did you watch the FIRST example on the video?
The first example is not sexual at all it's more revolting because her auto my is violated. Quite the opposite of what OP likes to depict I don't know what that example would have to do with the comment@@meikoluvv
Calling women 'creatures' is dehumanizing.
Important question (I think so?): The person who choose these art piecies to talk about was a woman or a man?
There wasn't a single female in any of my art classes who didn't either draw blatantly sexualized naked women, or admire others for doing so.
Do you think that was a genuine expression or feeling the need to fit in with the others, or feeling that to be natural because of art history's obsession with the subject?
Just because your classmates were rolling with it and didn't express distress there's a high chance it was something that actively bothered them, which sounds like something you might not take into consideration.
I'm asking as a non-binary person who is interested in (and made pieces with) explicit depictions, but much more deeply admires things like non-sexualized nudity and more realistic depictions of people.
Not a single one in multiple classes, huh? Your language is very telling. You're attempting to excuse sexualization by pretending all the women you saw in your classes were participating and ok with it. Doubtful. I'd bet quite a bit that your bias drew your attention to those paintings especially, making you think there was an overabundance. Not to mention, your use of female as a noun rather than adj. tells me you likely overly sexualize women by default, likely are (pcorn)sick, and thus not paying attention to reality and instead ascribing your own perversions onto women and their intentions.
@@SylvesterLazarusoh please nobody bullies girl artists into drawing pretty girls
@@nidhishshivashankar4885 You might be restricting your definition of bullying into a really specific and narrow version of it. James stating that there wasn't a single one who didn't have an issue in their art classes is a similarly really ignorant statement.
Of course there are girls who draw pretty girls, or sexualized ones, but stating that "nobody bullies" anyone into creating anything they are not comfortable with is factually wrong.
This generation of young women embrace their sexuality. Maybe sexualizing the model is liberating for them. They get to take ownership of the female form. Maybe they're just joking around together for fun.
Male artists are better.
Why do you think that
Female artists are better. Most women can naturally perceive colour and depth better than men.
gender doesn’t equate with greatness, each experience presents something different.
