We left it nearly too late to see the Michaelina Wautier exhibition in the Sackler Gallery at the Royal Academy. It is an extraordinary and revelatory exhibition of the work of an artist who, until recently, has been almost completely overlooked in spite of having an immense work in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna and having signed much of her work Invenit et fecit – sometimes extremely prominently.
If you haven’t seen it, I would urge you to in the four days that are left before the exhibition closes.
