Comienza la #MuseumWeek, hoy lunes dedicado a #WomenInCulture. Al ser el Greco el introductor del sistema de taller en la disciplina artícstica en España, hemos querido asomarnos a los talleres de la época para ver qué mujeres había. #¿TeParecenPocas? @enunMuseo @MuseumWeek #DIM
Sabemos que la presencia de mujeres en los talleres de la época no fue insignificante Los talleres tenían un alto componente familiar y era común que las hijas trabajasen allí. #WomenInCulture #MuseumWeek #TeParecenPocas
