Step into the world of sixteenth-century portraiture and discover how women artists turned the human body into a powerful language. This engaging reception and talk by Bronwen Wilson will explore the poses and gestures in Renaissance portraits, revealing the inventive ways women - led by the trailblazing Sofinisba Anguissola - used "the mute eloquence of gesture" to make their paintings speak. In an era when portraiture was often dismissed as a mechanical skill suited to women perceived to lack imagination, these artists defied convention. They infused their sitters with personality, narrative, and emotion - proving that a glance, a hand, or the tilt of a head could speak volumes. Join us for an illuminating evening of art, history, and conversation inspired by the museum's fall exhibition, "Poetic Portraits: Identity and Allegory in 16th-Century Europe." EVENT PROGRAM 4:30-5 p.m. Wine & Hors d'Oeuvres Reception 5-5:45 p.m. Lecture with Bronwen Wilson 5:45-6 p.m. Q & A, Free Time to Explore the Exhibition About the Speaker: Bronwen Wilson is the Edward W.
