And it was — but not in the greatest way a Danish museum expected when it gave an artist the equal of $84,000. The National Gallery of Victoria in Australia have acquired Lavinia Fontana’s The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine. This painting, relationship to c.1575, is the earliest painting by a woman within the gallery’s assortment. It is certainly one of three paintings that Fontana made from this scene earlier than her marriage in 1577, a period when she seemed to have favoured subjects of strong women from historical past and biblical tales. The work was previously with the sellers Callisto Fine Arts and was presented to the NGV by the Felton bequest. New York’s New Museum today revealed that it is inaugurating a brand new biennial award for sculpture, specifically for girls artists.
