Mischief and Morality in Paint
Judith Leyster’s paintings combine humour and moral ambiguity, revealing a confident Dutch Golden Age artist whose work was long misattributed and misunderstood.

#JudithLeyster fue una figura clave del Siglo de Oro neerlandés. Una de las primeras mujeres en ser admitida en el gremio de pintores de Haarlem. Tuvo mucho éxito durante su vida y un taller propio.

Tras su muerte, toda su obra fue adjudicada a Frans Hals o a su marido, un pintor mediocre.

This is the closest I got to imitating Jan Davidz's flower painting style by photographing these tulips. She was a master. Still searching...

Merry Company, btwn 1629 & 1631, by #JudithLeyster (Dutch, 1609–1660). Held in the Klesch Collection; source, thekleschcollection.com/loans/curren... #womenartists #artherstory #WorldMusicDay
A painting of three figures in an interior, one of whom is playing a violin and all three of whom may be singing. His one raised foot suggests the tune is a jaunty one. The smiling figure in red in the foreground holds a glass in their left hand and a jug in their right. The third figure in the back is smiling. From the left, the heads of three more people appear, looking into the room from a window.

Zelfportret (Self-portrait) by Judith Leyster (Dutch) - Oil on canvas / c. 1630 - National Gallery of Art (Washington DC) #womeninart #art #portraitofawoman #selfportrait #oilpainting #womensart #womanartist #JudithLeyster #DutchArt #NationalGalleryofArt #DutchArtist #fineart #WomenPaintingWomen
Dutch artist Judith Leyster’s Self-Portrait exudes self-confidence in her abilities, and it has become one of the National Gallery of Art’s most popular Dutch paintings. Leyster has depicted herself at her easel, briefly interrupting work on a painting of a violin player to interact with the viewer. The momentary quality of the portrait and the vigorous brushwork echo the work of Frans Hals, Haarlem’s most celebrated portrait painter and Leyster’s colleague. By juxtaposing her hand holding a brush with the hand and bow of the violin player, Leyster cleverly compares the art of creating ephemeral music with the art of creating timeless paintings. She holds the tools of her trade—a palette, a cloth, and no fewer than eighteen brushes. In reality she would not have worn the elegant dress and lace-trimmed collar while at work in her studio. Leyster entered into the Saint Luke’s Guild of Haarlem as an independent master in 1633. As a master in her own right, a rarity for a female artist at the time, Leyster established her own workshop and had paying students. Five years earlier, her proficiency and talent had already drawn public praise. A chronicler of Haarlem described Leyster, then only nineteen years old, as a painter of "good and keen insight." In the late 1640s, another city historian wrote that among the many women experienced in the field of painting, "one excels exceptionally, Judith Leyster, called ‘the true leading star’ in art." The compliment cleverly alludes to the artist’s family name, which means "lodestar." The artist herself incorporated a star in her professional signature, the monogram JL*. Following her marriage to fellow Haarlem artist Jan Miense Molenaer in 1636, Leyster stopped producing art in her own name but probably continued to paint in collaboration with, and in the workshop of, her husband.
