Scholars will also examine the role of active female artists during that period and Portugal’s broader international cultural connections. The conference aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Óbidos’ work and its context. Discussions will likely cover her techniques, influences, and legacy within art history. The event seeks to elevate the recognition of female artists from the 17th century and their impact on the art world. It promises to be a valuable forum for researchers and art enthusiasts alike.
