Michaelina Wautier

1604–1689 · Baroque

Michaelina Wautier, also Woutiers, was a painter from the Southern Netherlands. Only since the start of the 21st century has her work been recognized as that of the outstanding female artist of Flemish Baroque painting, her works having been previously attributed to male artists, especially her brother Charles. Much of the work tracking and attributing her paintings has been done by the Belgian art historian Katlijne Van der Stighelen.
