“Art has no gender” – and yet most of the art we know was created by men.
Female painters are being overlooked and undervalued for generations by the art world.
Art history has repeatedly forgotten about its women artists and has failed to give them recognition for their contribution to the art realm.
Today, I bring you the list of women painters that shouldn’t have been mentioned by their gender but by their name, artworks, and lastly, as great painters.
Unfortunately, as women still fight for representation across all fields, the art industry is no different.
Female painters are not merely a muse or model for art, but the creative force behind the artwork.
Here is a list of the great painters who have inspired and influenced the history of art around the world.
Please Note: The Above Names Are in No Particular Order.
1. Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (1755–1842)

“The passion for painting was innate in me. This passion has never failed, perhaps because it has always increased with time; even today, I experience all its charm, and I hope that this divine passion ends only with my life.”
Louise Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun
Vigée Le Brun–a wife, a mother, and a successful eighteenth-century women painter.
She painted around 660 portraits and 220 landscapes in her long career–which started with the intervention of the young Queen Marie Antoinette.
Elisabeth was a witness to the violence and chaos of the French Revolution; which forced her to flee Paris.
She traveled across Europe, letting her career span from the reign of Louis XV to that of Louis-Philippe.
Her painting style resonates with the theatrical Rococo style and more restrained neoclassical period.
Known as one of history’s greatest female painters, today her famous works hang in the following museums:
The London’s National Gallery, the Louver, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Hermitage Museum.

2. Sofonisba Anguissola (1535–1625)

“Life is full of surprises; I try to capture these precious moments with wide eyes”.
Sofonisba Anguissola
One of the most accomplished female painters of the 15th century, known for her Italian Renaissance-style portraits largely commissioned by royals and nobles.
Sofonisba was the first woman to receive formal artistic training, and soon made a name for herself.
Her talent led her to the Spanish court to serve as a court painter and tutor the queen.
Anguissola was the ‘unofficial’ court portrait painter — which meant she never signed her portrait paintings.
The court had appointed an official painter— Alonso Sánchez Coello, who mostly served her as an assistant.
In the 17th century, A fire broke out in the Spanish court which destroyed most of Sofonisba Anguissola’s works.
When the remaining paintings were found unsigned, the consultant suggested the paintings were painted by the then officially appointed court painter.
The historians attributed almost all of Sofonisba Anguissola’s court portraits to Coello.
This mistake lasted for three centuries.
3. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–1653)

“As long as I live, I will have control over my being”
Artemisia Gentileschi
Considered among the most famous women artists of the 17th century, also known as the woman who took revenge in oil.
Inspired by Caravaggio, her baroque paintings are some of the most dramatic and dynamic artworks produced in that period.
Her father trained her at an early age, who was an accomplished painter which also granted her access to the art world at a young age.
Gentileschi’s striking use of light and shadow brings depth to the colors in her paintings that she often used to depict a realistic female form.
Her surviving artwork depicts personal and unique perspectives on the male-dominated nature of society and has women placed in focus.
She is probably one of the first female painters to do that.
Experiencing sexual assault as a teenager, many of her works permeate the themes of abuse of authority, rape, and violence.
4. Caterina Van Hemessen (1528–1587)
Image: wikipedia; arthistoryproject
Catherina is recognized for her small-scale portraits of women and self-portraits.
She is the only known 15th-century Flemish Renaissance female painter.
Trained by her father, Caterina’s self-portrait is likely the first painting of an artist depicting themselves on the easel.
This style of self-portraits can be seen by prominent artists such as Rembrandt, Vincent van Gogh, Francisco Goya, Paul Gauguin, and many more.
To phantom that this tradition started with a corseted 20-year-old young woman, whose contribution to the art world has gone unappreciated for nearly half a millennium.
In Caterina van Hemessen’s transfixing masterpiece, she isn’t just posing; she has painted herself painting this very artwork that we see before us.
Her paintings often have a depth and complexity that distinguishes her work from the rest, making her a pioneer in the history of image-making.
5. Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749–1803)
Image: wikipedia
A prominent figure in Marie-Gabrielle Capet’s career and life, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard was not only a remarkable portraitist but also a well-known teacher to her pupils.
She was among the first female painters to be granted membership at the French Royal Academy.
Labille-Guiard was an ambitious artist who worked for many aristocratic patrons.
She was also one of the first women to receive permission to set up a studio at the Louver when men dominated art institutions and salons.
A lifelong champion of women’s rights, she worked with the Academy to reform its policies to facilitate women in having the same opportunities as men to become painters.
Adélaïde, like many other talented women, also suffered from false rumors and allegations about her character and work.
Often mocked by critics who questioned her ability to paint such brilliant art pieces by declaring that her male counterparts polished her artwork.
Her paintings hang at several important museums across Europe and America today.
6. Marie-Gabrielle Capet (1761–1818)
Image: wikiart.org
A French neoclassic painter who came from a modest background was known for her miniature portraits.
Over her long career, Capet also worked with oil and pastel paintings, which were acclaimed for their skillful draftsmanship and use of color.
Capet’s initial training remains unknown, however, as she became a student of the famous French painter Adelaide Labille-Guiard in Paris.
While Labille-Guiard was more than a mentor to her, she was a mother figure; with whom Capet stayed till the end of her life.
It is clear that the relationships formed throughout her career and the amity and training she received from Labille-Guiard were invaluable to the person and artist that Capet became.
Capet played a more active role in her time as an artist than she has been credited throughout history.
7. Clara Peeters (1607–1621)
Image: wikipedia
Clara Peeters is one of the few known Flemish female painters from the 17th century.

Her artworks are known for their esthetically pleasing arrangement of materials, the low angle of perspective, and her skill to delineate the textures of the varied objects she painted.
8. Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899)

Royals, state leaders, and celebrities sought after Rosa Bonheur; her art bought her immense fame and fortune during her lifetime.
This rich and passionate female painter, who lived in a misogynistic century, had brilliant success without the help of a man.
Without having been ‘the muse of…’, ‘the wife of…’.

Her work doesn’t fail to showcase her Mexican culture or her provoking ideas about gender, class, and race.
She was her own muse, known for depicting her unflinching emotions to the viewers.
Frida represented elements of life with extremely personal and fierce paintings by constantly remaking and layering her own identity.
She makes her audience feel the pain and passion with her bold, vibrant colors; conveying her tragedies.
Compelling her audience to witness her vulnerabilities–her love, betrayal, miscarriage, or health issues, makes her work boldly confrontational.
She died at the young age of 47 and got famous posthumous as a Feminist painter.
Today, she is a sensation among the youth and an icon for feminism and LGBTQI.
Today, she continues to inspire all kinds of artists across the world.

Like many talented female painters, Leyster’s work was also posthumously attributed to men and in her case, it was Frans Hals and her husband, Jan Miense Molenaer.
Her work remained misattributed to men for nearly 200 years.
Her painting style was very similar to Hals, with her light brush strokes, casual poses, and momentary quality–all reflecting innovations introduced by Frans Hals in the 1620s.
Some of her paintings have a sense of “Baroque Closeness”, especially in her self-portrait. The painting creates the illusion that they are coming out of the painting, invading the viewer’s space.
She has used her self-portraits as an opportunity to advertise her abilities.
14. Berthe Morisot (1841–1895)
Image: wikipedia

Berthe loved to paint her daughter and produced a plethora of work to document her childhood.
15. Hilma af Klint (1862–1944)
Image: wikipedia

Her paintings are recognized for their unlikeness; bold, colorful, and untethered from any recognizable references to the physical world.

This famous female painter’s greatest works were kept private for most of her life and stayed hidden until 20 years after her death.
She rarely exhibited her paintings, saying, that the world wasn’t ready to understand her art.
Her artworks were produced decades before Wassily Kandinsky and his contemporaries Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich, who were widely believed to be the first ones to produce a truly abstract painting.
Klint’s works are a combination of geometry, symbolism, figuration, language, scientific research, and religion.
Her paintings were typically large, which encouraged her viewers to envelop themselves in the emotional mood of the painting.
The viewers are set into a meditative state, letting them blend their reality with imagination.

She is a pioneer of color field painting—a style that features large ribbons of color as the painting’s “subject” and invented the soak-stain technique and expanded the possibilities of abstraction.
Helen thinned her paints and then poured them over an unprimed canvas. This allowed her paintings to have an almost-watercolor-like appearance with color built-in organic layers.

Her artwork explores the raw emotions of jealousy, anger, abandonment, loneliness, and fear.
Her body of work includes painting and large-scale sculpting. Throughout her long and varied career, she commanded various art styles — such as Abstract Expressionism, Feminist art, and Surrealism.
But she wasn’t formally associated with any art movement throughout her art career.

Why Have There Been No Great Female Artists?
Image: art.com
“Why are there no great women artists?’ sounds as ignorant of human geography as the query ‘Why are there no Eskimo tennis teams?”
Francine du Plessix Gray
Prestigious museums such as the Louver, MoMA, MET, the Rijksmuseum, the Hermitage, etc. house less than 11% of women artists in total.
When we think of famous artists or best painters, we think of DaVinci, Picasso, Van Gogh, Renoir, Warhol, Botticelli, or Rembrandt, and artists along these lines.
And undoubtedly, they are some of the greatest painters of all time, but I’m sure they aren’t the only ones.
Did you notice that all these painters are men? That our history has failed us to educate us about artists that aren’t men.
Listing as many great women artists as male artists is nearly impossible.
“She has the talent of a man”
The question that lies ahead is; are women not capable of being great artists? Are all recognized artists coincidentally male? Or has our society and institutions been incapable to recognize and facilitate women’s works?
Art is more than just a drawing or splash of color; it reflects and influences how we view our society and people.
Women as artists have faced gender inequality throughout history and this is a reoccurring topic that never gets the attention it deserves.
But the real question here is: What does the male domination of art history say about the way we look at women?
Even though art is viewed as a free and autonomous activity, the contrary seems to be true.
For a very long time, women were not allowed in art guilds and academies.
They were “deprived of the possibility of creating major art works’” (Harris, 2001).
“The fault lies not in our stars, our hormones, our menstrual cycles, or our empty internal spaces, but in our institutions and our education”
Linda Nochlin
Knowing the history of women in art is vital to fully appreciate their work and comprehend the fundamentals of their creation.
Along with understanding their vulnerability, which came from their position in society during their respective times.
In addition to being a female painter, there are many paintings of women that highlight various traits.
Paintings are a great way to express emotions, it is more than the act of painting,
It’s always about the emotions a painting evokes in us.
You don’t need to be a professional painter to have a portrait painting of you or your loved one.
