Representation of women in the portrait of the region of Murcia

Abstract

The research we have developed analyzes a set of portraits that belongs to the official art collection of Region de Murcia, and that are a good example of the different female representations that appeared in the western art history. In addition to help revaluating these portraits, and the whole collection, it is pretended to get deeper into the female portraiture features, and how this typology has left a male vision to get a new representation where we see an autonomous and independent woman that is her own artistic subject.
