Origins and History
The Renaissance period, which began in the 14th century, was a significant time for Women Portraits. During this time, artists emphasized the natural beauty and femininity of women in their paintings. The 19th century was another critical period for women’s portraits as they became political statements and a symbol for women’s suffrage.
