Women's program- the medici grand duchy (1537-1743) coincided with the first professionalization of women artists in italy. At the same time, a number of women artists worked outside of the professional sphere, including nuns and noblewomen. Established in 2010 by the late author and philanthropist dr. Jane fortune, this research program has focused on women artists active during the fifteenth through the nineteenth centuries. In its ten years of activity, the program has been a fertile source of publications, lectures, digital resources, and conference papers. Many younger scholars have taken part in this quest by means of internships that provided training in archival research.
