Spotlight on: Women Artists of the 19th Century
The Augustinermuseum Freiburg opens the guided tour Spotlight on!, offering a focused view on women artists of the 19th century. Between historical museum spaces and selected paintings, it becomes evident how female painters developed their artistic training, individual expressions, and professional paths in a time marked by social and structural obstacles.
Art History with a Personal Perspective
The one-hour city and museum tour is dedicated to works by female painters from the Augustinermuseum's collection. Individual biographies, special imagery, and the life circumstances of the artists are the focal points.
