DEEDS CALENDAR: Michaelina Wautier, Painter – Kunsthistorisches Museum (Vienna) | until 22.02.2026
Repressed, forgotten, celebrated: the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is presenting the most comprehensive exhibition to date of the Flemish Baroque painter Michaelina Wautier (c.1614–1689) – one of the most important rediscoveries in recent art history. Following in the tradition of Rubens and Van Dyck, she is rightly celebrated for her brilliant brushwork, her versatility, her wide range of pictorial themes, and the self-assurance with which she depicted male bodies and their anatomy, which was extraordinary for a female painter of her time. Almost all of Wautier’s surviving works are now being presented in Vienna for the first time, including paintings that have never before been shown in public.
