As most periods in history, women were often denied opportunities to pursue what they wanted, whether it was getting an education or a career. Really, the only options were to marry another man or devote their life to Catholicism. Elisabetta Sirani was an exception, as she\u2019d become a prominent artist during the Baroque period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Bologna was considered a progressive city for women\u2019s rights, most female artists were successful through the help of a male counterpart, like a father in Sirani\u2019s case. Through her father\u2019s teachings and having to fall sick when she was 19, Sirani was her family\u2019s breadwinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sirani often held workshops for people to view her paint and learn from her techniques. Some even note and commend her based on her ability to create such masterpieces quickly. In her lifetime, she painted and drew around 200 pieces, averaging about 20 paintings a year at one point. On top of that, she completed 13 altarpieces, including\u00a0The Baptism of Christ<\/em>, her most popular work. Sirani\u2019s passion for teaching led her to open the first art school in Europe for women, an incredible achievement by someone as young as her and from a woman in the Baroque period in general.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
