Part 1
Sonfonisba Anguissola was probably the most interesting Renaissance painter you've never heard of.  Her life story is more exciting and complex than a novel, and her art was appreciated by the likes of Michelangelo and Rubens.  Come experience her work .
Part 2
Learn about the Museum that rescued Sofonisba Anguissola from oblivion and put her back in the history books, the National Museum of Women in the Arts.  This museum in Washington is the only one of its kind in the world and the story of its origins and growth is almost as inspirational as that of Sonfonisba herself.
