Tour in Austrian Sign Language of ‘Michaelina Wautier, painter’
Everyone is welcome – friends, family, and all those interested!
Michaelina Wautier, a 17th-century artist, is regarded as one of the most exciting art historical rediscoveries of recent decades. This exhibition brings together nearly her entire body of work for the first time, placing it in dialogue with masters such as Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck.
At a time when women artists were largely confined to still life or genre painting, Wautier also gained recognition for her ambitious history paintings. The exhibition highlights a contemporary female perspective on both traditional and innovative subjects – including the representation of the male body.

KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM WIEN
Built by Karl Hasenauer and Gottfried von Semper between 1871 and 1891, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien ranks among the most renowned museums in the world. Its magnificent architecture provides a worthy setting for collections the Habsburgs built over centuries. These encompass objects from five millennia, i.e. from the time of Ancient Egypt to the end of the 18th century.
