Today, it’s a very special episode of ArtCurious! We’re joining forces with the minds over at My Modern Met, and their new podcast, Top Artist, to discuss four of our favorite impactful artists in art history.

This is the second half of our conversation— the first half is over on Top Artist’s podcast feed, so go over there and download that episode first, and then come back here to complete the conversation.

Are you a little curious about my audio course, “Breaking Barriers: Women Artists of Renaissance Europe”? You’re in luck! Here’s a little update and sneak-peek for those of you who want to know more— and a big thank you to those already registered!

About Breaking Barriers: This is a 21-day course, broken up into daily episodes that are no longer than 10-15 minutes. And naturally, there are no pesky term papers or final exams to worry about-- just cool art history content that you won’t find anywhere else. 

I’ve no doubt that the names Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo already mean something major to you-- and not just as mutant reptiles with rad martial arts skills. You know these artists as some of the biggest names in Renaissance art who created some of the most iconic works of art of all time. Looking closer, though, and you’ll find another commonality: they are all male artists. What about the great female makers of the Renaissance -where, and who, are they? So I’ve created this 21-day course--and a course correction, really-- through Avid.FM, where you can explore the lives and works of 20 women artists, from the familiar (like the eye-opening stories Sofonisba Anguissola and Marietta Robusti), to the names you may have heard once or twice (like the highly-successful Levina Teerlinc and Properzia de’ Rossi), to the practically unknown-- who’s Anastasia, you may ask? 

Like the best episodes of ArtCurious, you’ll get the satisfaction of learning about the Renaissance in depth, and with a greater capacity for understanding the limits and barriers to women seeking to work professionally in one of the most colorful eras of western history. You’ll become familiar with artists you’ve probably never heard of, all of whom made an incredible mark on art history. 

Are you in? Sign up right now for “Breaking Barriers: Women Artists of Renaissance Europe” at avid.fm/jennifer for the low price of just $21.99.

Today, we’re continuing with the ArtCurious debut of one of the greatest Spanish painters of all time—and his controversial painting that, some say, has driven people mad: Diego Velázquez’s Rokeby Venus.

Today we’re thrilled to announce that I’ve created an audio course for those looking to explore the world of Renaissance Europe through the eyes of the women artists who thrived there. This course is called “Breaking Barriers: Women Artists of Renaissance Europe,” a 21-day course, broken up into daily episodes that are no longer than 10 minutes. And naturally, there are no pesky term papers or final exams to worry about-- just cool art history content that you won’t find anywhere else. 

In this course, you'll get the satisfaction of learning about the Renaissance in-depth and with a greater capacity for understanding the limits and barriers to women seeking to work professionally in one of the most colorful eras of Western history. You'll become familiar with artists you've probably never heard of, all of whom made an incredible mark on art, but unlike traditional ArtCurious episodes, you'll be getting more content on a more frequent basis. In fact, you'll be getting an episode every day for three weeks. But just because you're getting a daily influx of information doesn't mean that it will be overwhelming because each episode will only be up to 10 minutes in length. You'll get to enjoy fun, information-packed audio that won't take a big bite out of your day. 

We need to confirm there’s enough interest before production of this fantastic course starts, so if you’re a fan of ArtCurious and want to do something to support, sign up right now for “Breaking Barriers: Women Artists of Renaissance Europe” at avid.fm/jennifer. Register by June 7 for a special early buy-in price of just $21.99– and if we get enough interest the course will be available soon.
