The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is the latest cultural institution to announce their intention to display more works of art by female artists. More specifically, they have announced that three paintings by the seventeenth century artists Judith Leyster, Gesina ter Borch, and Rachel Ruysch will be included within their 'Gallery of Honour' (pictured).
The museum's director Taco Dibbits is quoted as saying:
By asking ourselves questions and by studying various sources and objects, in addition to their exhibition, we try to give a more complete picture of the Netherlands.
