Josefa de Óbidos: A Woman Artist in Early Modern Iberia

Carmen Ripollés, Associate Professor, Portland State University
Josefa de Ayala (c. 1630–1684)—also known as Josefa de Óbidos, after the town in which she spent much of her life—was a seminal figure in Iberian Baroque art who achieved recognition and numerous commissions during her lifetime, and was one of the few independent, documented women artists from the period. Ripollés will discuss the Meadows Museum’s recent acquisition of her c. 1680 Still Life. Sponsored by the Custard Institute for Spanish Art & Culture. Seating is limited, advance registration required.
