How many women artists are in the National Gallery? Of 2600 paintings, what is your guess?
In this video, Jessica the Museum Guide (that’s me!) takes you on a detailed guided tour of every painting by a woman at the National Gallery in London. We cover every canvas (and a mural), including full biographies of these trailblazing painters.
