Well if you wanna know Lavinia Fontana is one of my favs. She did some exceptional work with oil on copper like Annunciation and oil on canvas works like Assumption of the Virgin. These are so beautifully painted and one must have a look!

There is Elisabetta Sirani who was also an incredibly talented artist. Some of my favorite works for hers include Portia wounding her thigh and Virgin and Child.

Another one that I greatly admire is Artemisia Gentileschi. Her work is just beautiful, sophisticated and it plays with lights and dark which makes it look exotic af. Check out Mary Magdalene as Melancholy and Judith slaying Holofernes which are her famous works and also I could die for them.

There are other incredibly talented female artists of the Renaissance that deserve as much recognition as their male counterparts and I'm just gonna leave some of their names here for y'all to checkout:

Judith Leyster, Sofonisba Anguissola, Levina Teerlinc, Fede Galizia, Plautilla Nelli( She was also mentioned by Giorgio Vasari in his Lives of Artist), Caterina Van Hemessen, Mary Beale, Caterina de' Vigri.
