One of these paintings is Getty’s beloved Irises, which is the focus of Ultra-Violet: New Light on Van Gogh’s Irises, an exhibition on view through January 19 at the Getty Museum that presents new research about how its pigments have faded over time.

Breaking Barriers: Sophie Fremiet and the Rise of Women Artists in Europe
Getty Center & Online
Sunday, Jan 26, at 2pm
Around the turn of the 18th century, over a thousand women contributed more than 7,000 works to London's and Paris’ premier exhibitions. It was a transformative moment for women artists in Europe, who exhibited and sold their art in unprecedented numbers. In this context, Sophie Fremiet painted her luminous Portrait of a Woman. Art historian Paris A. Spies-Gans delves into this era to upend longstanding assumptions about women’s opportunities and wrongly forgotten triumphs.
