About the artists
Elisabeth Geertruida Wassenbergh, Albarta ten Oever, Geesje Mesdag-van Calcar, and more. These women were famous artists in the 18th and 19th centuries. They won prizes, and their art hung on the walls of houses in Groningen. Years later, however, their work fell out of fashion, and art historians dismissed them as amateurs. This exhibition puts these artists who fell “out of art” back in the spotlight where they belong.
