Episode #106: Bits of "Breaking Barriers": Properzia de’ Rossi (Season 12, Episode 7)

For this season of ArtCurious, I’m doing something a little bit different. I’m treating you to renditions of eight of my favorite segments from Breaking Barriers: Women Artists of Renaissance Europe, my online course found exclusively at avid.fm. Every other week through January, I’ll share selections from Breaking Barriers, and encourage you that if you like it, you can purchase the whole course. Today’s subject is a major one: Properzia de’ Rossi, a Renaissance sculptor who was (gasp!) female. Why was this a big deal, why was de’ Rossi a rarity? We dig into the details and learn about the highly masculinized world of sculpture. From Breaking Barriers: Women of Renaissance Europe, please enjoy “Properzia de’ Rossi: The “Rare Female Sculptor.” Please SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts and FOLLOW on Spotify Instagram / Facebook / YouTube Sponsor ArtCurious for as little as $4 on Patreon SPONSORS: Honeylove: Get 20% OFF @honeylove + Free Shipping with promo code ARTCURIOUS20 at https://www.honeylove.com! #honeylovepod Learn more about your ad choices.
