500 Years of Brilliance on Canvas. Step into a sweeping celebration of creativity, courage, and color with Great Women Painters, a breathtaking collection that redefines the story of art as we know it. Spanning nearly five centuries and featuring over 300 groundbreaking artists, this stunning volume brings together the legends, the visionaries, and the rising stars who forever changed the way we see the world.

From Artemisia Gentileschi to Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe to Yayoi Kusama, and today’s trailblazers like Cecily Brown and Jadé Fadojutimi, each page bursts with power, personality, and painterly brilliance. Richly illustrated across more than 300 pages, this book captures the diversity and innovation of women’s artistic expression — from Renaissance portraiture to cutting-edge contemporary abstraction.

Curated by Alison M. Gingeras, a world-renowned curator and writer who has worked with institutions such as the Guggenheim Museum, Centre Pompidou, and Palazzo Grassi, Great Women Painters is both a visual feast and an essential art historical milestone. Bold, beautiful, and long overdue, this book isn’t just about painting — it’s about rewriting art history through the women who shaped it.

Discover the artists who painted their way into history — and changed it forever.
