"Women Who Ruled: Queens, Goddesses, Amazons"



ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN.- The University of Michigan Museum of Art presents "Women Who Ruled: Queens, Goddesses, Amazons 1500-1650", on view through May 5, 2002. The exhibition focuses on the visual representation of powerful women in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, an exceptional time in European history, when numerous states and kingdoms were led by women. The exhibition, its interpretive materials, and its programs aim to present today's audiences with fresh ways to see and understand these Old Master images and to make them aware that today's images of woman also present a variety of messages and reflect negotiations of power. Comprised of nearly one hundred works of art from the Renaissance and Baroque periods (including paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, and decorative arts) drawn from UMMA collections as well as major American, Canadian, and European collections, the exhibition will travel to two other venues after its run in Ann Arbor.
