The Galleria Corsini in Rome have recently opened a new exhibition dedicated to the female architect Plautilla Bricci (1616-1690), who was supposedly was 'the first female architect in pre-industrial Europe'. The exhibition is the first time pictorial, graphic and documentary evidence has been brought together to celebrate Bricci's life and career. It also includes this rather interest painting which is said to represent Bricci as an Allegory of Architecture (pictured).

The exhibition will run until 19th April 2021.
