Who were the great women artists from history? Come on a tour of some of the paintings painted by women in the National Gallery collection, including Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Rosa Bonheur and Rachel Ruysch. We're guided by Gallery Educator, Fiona Alderton.

Each of these female artists has an amazing story to tell. Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun painted portraits of Marie Antoinette and fled the French Revolution. Rosa Bonheur obtained the French authorities' permission to wear men's clothes so she could paint without harassment. Rachel Ruysch's Dutch still life masterpieces often sold for more in her lifetime than Rembrandt's did in his. Listen to these tales and many more,
