Women in the Visual Arts Symposium
Bringing to light the overlooked role of women in the art supply trade, Marleen Puyenbroek unveiled new research at the recent Women in the Visuals Arts in the Early Modern Low Counties symposium in Den Bosch. In her paper, Marleen revealed a significant correction: a paint store, previously misattributed to Abraham van Bubbeson, was, in fact, managed by his wife, Ermptgen van Putten. Research shows that Van Putten must have had an extensive network of suppliers and profound knowledge across a wide range of materials.
At the same symposium, Judith Noorman chaired a session on Women in the Global Age, featuring insightful papers by Suze Zijlstra, Catherine Powell-Warren, and Lieke van Deinsen.
