The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., has put together a showcase of 77 paintings, prints, and sculptures made by French women from the 18th and 19th centuries—a tumultuous time that saw the terrors of the french revolution and the restoration of the monarchy. Many of the rare works in the exhibition, called “Royalists to Romantics: Women Artists from the Louvre, Versailles, and Other French National Collections,” have never been seen outside of France.
