Mary Beale, Jane Fox, Lady Leigh as a Shepherdess, 1675. St Edmundsbury Museums Beale wrote a book that was never published, but was one of the first instructional books written by a woman. It announced her authority as an artist. Her portraits were displayed in her home so it was easy for a male critic to give her a bad reputation by portraying her personal life in an impure manner.

Botticelli, Birth of Venus, 1484-1486. Sandro Botticelli was an early Renaissance painter. His work was recognized after he was hired by the wealthy Medici family to create paintings for them in Florence, Italy. The highpoint of his life was in his middle ages when he had earned all his contacts, money, and fame thanks to the Medici’s patronage. He was given very high honors late in his life, such as painting parts of the Sistine Chapel for the Pope in Rome. His fame was well-deserved. Botticelli, Birth of Venus, 1484-1486.
