The most ambitious artistic project of Sara Rubayo, the art historian who has revolutionised museums in Spain, and Ana Gállego: an exhaustive compilation of all the women painters from Antiquity to the 17th century.

Let's talk about artists from the 6th century BC to the 17th century: that's a lot of centuries of history, you're sure to remember some names. But who comes to mind? How many men? How many women?

PintorAs vol. 1 arises from the need to find the women in the history of art in order to paint a complete picture of artistic development over the years. From the premise "all in and none out", Sara Rubayo and Ana Gállego shed light on all those women who dedicated themselves to art.

While the history of art only seems to contemplate women as muses or as painters of little talent, this volume aims to turn conventional wisdom on its head: they recover from oblivion artists we have barely heard of because there is very little information about them.

Because no matter how brief their history may have been, each artist deserves due recognition and their work should have its place in popular knowledge.
