The Unveiling of Judith Leyster: A Forgotten Dutch MasterIn this episode of 'She Changed History,' hosts Cara and Vicky delve into the overlooked story of Judith Leyster, a remarkable female painter from the Dutch Golden Age.  Despite her significant contributions to art, Judith was nearly erased from history due to a combination of gender bias and fraudulent attribution of her work to more famous male contemporaries. Her signature, a star-like 'JL,' was often painted over to attribute her works to the acclaimed painter Frans Hals. The hosts explore her life, struggles, achievements, and the eventual rediscovery and reinstatement of her works, shedding light on the systemic issues that kept her out of historical records for centuries. Sources today are:https://www.britannica.com/art/genre-paintinghttps://artsandculture.google.com/story/7-amazing-facts-about-judith-leyster/GgUBhb-z8As2Jg?hl=enhttps://www.artnews.com/list/art-news/artists/who-was-judith-leyster-and-why-was-she-so-important-1234652971/leysters-name-is-forgotten-but-not-her-paintings/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Golden_Age_paintinghttps://www.nga.gov/collection/artist-info.1485.htmlhttps://nmwa.org/art/artists/judith-leyster/#:~:text=Although%20well%20known%20during%20her,%E2%80%9CFrans%20Hals.%E2%80%9D%20This%20discoveryhttps://news.artnet.com/art-world/art-bites-judith-leyster-rediscovery-2457671https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/dutch-golden-ages-female-painters-finally-receive-show-their-own-180973533/#:~:text=According%20to%20a%20press%20release,van%20Schurman%20and%20Alida%20Withoos.00:00 Party Aftermath and Dog Talk01:03 Introduction to the Story02:08 A Victorian Art Auction04:01 Judith Leyster's Early Life05:01 The Dutch Golden Age06:59 Judith's Artistic Training10:10 Joining the Painters Guild11:05 Guild Dispute with Frans Hals13:54 The Role of Women in the Dutch Golden Age15:20 Judith Leyster's Artistic Techniques17:05 Marriage and Family Life19:17 Rediscovery and Recognition22:11 The Impact of Misattribution25:11 Legacy and Modern Recognition28:43 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections
