Michaelina Wautier review – an astounding lost artist steps out of her male contemporaries’ shadows

A major exhibition at the Royal Academy is presenting the work of 17th-century Flemish painter Michaelina Wautier, an artist whose significant oeuvre was long misattributed to her male contemporaries, including her brother Charles. The show acts as a real-time art historical investigation, using scientific analysis, scholarship, and connoisseurship to reconstruct her career and assert her authorship of ambitious works like the monumental 'The Triumph of Bacchus'.

Georges de La Tour, once a victim of the academy’s collective amnesia, can be seen in a new light in Paris

The Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris opens a new exhibition, "Georges de La Tour: From Shadow to Light," running from 11 September 2025 to 25 January 2026. This is the first Paris show dedicated to the 17th-century French painter in nearly 30 years, featuring about 20 original works and a dozen studio pieces. The exhibition explores La Tour's working practice and his influence from Caravaggio, highlighting how his oeuvre—now counted at only 48 known works—was rediscovered after centuries of misattribution, thanks largely to German art historian Hermann Voss in 1915.

Bringing Natalie Home: An Exhibit of Natalie Van Vleck’s Art at Flanders Nature Center

An exhibition titled "Bringing Natalie Home" has opened at the Flanders Nature Center in Connecticut, showcasing the artwork of Natalie Van Vleck for the first time in the newly renovated Van Vleck Gallery. The gallery is located inside the historic saltbox house that Van Vleck urged her parents to purchase in 1926, where she later built her art studio in 1928. The comprehensive exhibit, which began on February 7, 2025, will display her work throughout the year after decades in storage.
