Still Life with Cakes
I began my research by visiting museums, churches, private collections and other sites in Central Portugal. While in Portugal, I met with museum curators, spoke to leading art historians, and toured Josefa de Óbidos’ hometown of Óbidos.
This trip included visits to the following locations:
• Municipal Library, Santarém, Portugal
• Carmelite Convent, Cascais, Portugal
• Convent of Santa Madalena, Alcobaça, Portugal
• Church of Santa Maria de Óbidos, Óbidos, Portugal
• Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon, Portugal
• Museu Regional, Évora, Portugal
• Municipal Library, Alpiarça, Portugal
When I returned to New York, I developed my research into an article. My piece was eventually published in the New York Sun:
2023 “Meet the Baroque-Era Painter Who Extolled the Creative Power of Women,” The New York Sun, April 6, 2023
