Learn about the rich and important contributions that women artists made to
Russian cultural life in this lecture with Rosalind P. Blakesley, lecturer
in the history of art and fellow of Pembroke College, University of
Cambridge. Blakesley examines the gradual appearance of women artists in
Russia, from the foreign artists who established successful careers
portraying members of the Russian court in the late 18th century to later
women who achieved recognition at the Imperial Academy of Arts.
