How did women shape art collections through history? From commissioning altarpieces to giving their art collections to the nation, women helped to shape our collection at the National Gallery in many more ways than just the paintings they created.
Learn about the stories of women's involvement in the great number of paintings in our collection with Caroline Campbell, former Director of Collections and Research, and now Director of the National Gallery of Ireland.
There are only 21 paintings in our collection by women. We discover the women in our collection: the artists, the patrons, the muses. Read and watch more about women in our collection: bit.ly/2UmXFQx
