In c.1568, Plautilla Nelli - the very first female artist of Florence that we know of - became the first woman to paint a Last Supper. At a time when women were forbidden from practicing art, she built a thriving business. This is her story.
My new series 'HERstory of Art' will explore the art and lives of female artists from the past. Stay tuned for more incredible stories!

Today, you can see Nelli’s Last Supper in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, and that’s all thanks to the Advanced Women Artists foundation (founded by American philanthropist Jane Fortune) who have restored more than 20 works attributed to Nelli and her convent.
