2019 marked 100 years since female artists were allowed to study at the Berlin Academy of Arts, a milestone in the history of rights for women in Germany.
An exhibition at the Old National Gallery in Germany marks the anniversary by looking at the women who defied the odds and produced art in the years leading up to 1919, and those that fought for equal rights.
STORYLINE
This portrait of the German socialite Henriette Herz welcomes visitors to a new exhibition showcasing art by women at Berlin's Old National Gallery.
It is suitable, Henriette Herz was herself an artistic and literally scion of her time.
Her literary saloon meetings in the late 18th century were legendary and she counted German intellectual giants as Friedrich Schiller and Alexander von Humboldt as her friends.
But the artist that made the picture is as important.
But she did not have a formal education, her artist father taught her to paint.
