The jubilees of the two centuries in question, ranging from 1550 to 1750 and comprising styles extending from the Late Renaissance to the Late Baroque, are not examined in terms of their theological or religious value, but as occasions for renewing and enhancing the image of Rome. This was the objective of the Papal Court, but it also involved fraternities and private religious bodies, as well as artists, collectors, and scholars, both religious and secular, of the most varying backgrounds.

During the 1930’s, American art experienced an unprecedented and still largely unequalled, surge of creative excitement. Thousands of professional artists, some already known, and most new to the scene,men and - for the first time in this country’s history - an almost equally large group of women, equipped with a dizzying mix of ethnic and econimic backgrounds, were working together to create artworks instended for the enjoyment and education of the public. These artists expressed themselves in Murals, sculptures, decorative patterns, bas-reliefs, and almost any other medium they could command.

This exhibition is devoted to Norwegian women artists of the late 19th and 20th centuries and their successors in contemporary times. Harriet Backer, Kitty Kielland, Asta Nørregaard, Ida Lorentzen, Hanneline Røgeberg, Marianne Heske and others are among those featured. Their works are very beautiful, from interiors to landscapes and portraits, to the most contemporary installations. An extremely interesting text offers insights into the work of each artist, even as it discusses on a broad scale the emancipation of women and the feminist perspective in art.
