‘Rachel Ruysch was interested in the difference between interiors and exteriors. She painted cut stems in which you can see the pith running up the centre in cross-section, as well as broken eggs, burst grapes, halved pomegranates.’ Clare Bucknell on the Dutch painter: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

📖 A must-read for anyone interested in early modern art, women artists, or the global Baroque. #JosefaDeObidos #PortugueseBaroque #WomenInArt #NewBook #ArtHistory #BaroquePainting (5/5)

Author Carmen Ripollés, Associate Professor at Portland State University, situates Josefa within Iberian and European artistic networks and highlights her role in the material culture of Portugal’s global world. (4/5)

Her delicate still lifes, portraits, and monumental altarpieces reveal a dazzling range—from tender Marian imagery to unflinching scenes of the Passion. This long-overdue study not only illuminates her artistic brilliance but also her remarkable independence as a businesswoman. (3/5)

Celebrated as one of the most important artists of the Portuguese Baroque, Josefa de Óbidos is the only early modern woman credited with representing the art of an entire period and region. (2/5)

✨ New Release ✨ The first English-language monograph on Portuguese painter Josefa de Óbidos (1630–1684) has just been published by Carmen Ripollés! 🎉 (1/5)
