It’s not all cavorting nudes and heaving bosoms. Sure, the unclothed female form is present in Rubens & Women at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, but the exhibition highlights the emotional depth the Flemish artist captured in his subjects – and how the women in his life nourished his art.

One of the most startling portraits you will encounter is of Isabella Brant, his first wife, smiling wistfully. The work is thought to have been painted after her death in 1626, and it’s as if he is trying to use his paintbrush to tenderly bring her back to life. Over the course of the show, you will meet the artist’s formidable patrons, goddesses and other much loved family members, all depicted with extraordinary skill and humanity. These encounters uplift the soul, as well as dazzling the eye.

Viewing Paris Photo

The art world will descend on the French capital once again for Paris Photo, which will commandeer the Grand Palais Éphémère this week for the fair’s 26th edition. Among the works shown by the nearly 200 exhibitors, visitors can find pieces by the titans of the medium, including Man Ray and Diane Arbus, as well as contemporary stars and emerging artists. We’ll be making a beeline for the solo presentations of Hassan Hajjaj and Vasantha Yogananthan, among others.

New this year is a Digital Sector, spotlighting artists bending new technologies to the max – AI, algorithms, AR and more. ‘Early positions of generative photography can be seen as well as works from the current AI context,’ says its curator, digital art specialist Nina Roehrs.

Viewing Women in Revolt! at Tate Britain

It’s the first of its kind, a remarkable survey of feminist art featuring over 100 incredible women artists from the UK. Step into a world where radical ideas and rebellious methods paved the way for a priceless contribution to British culture. These women used their creative genius to champion women’s liberation during times of tremendous social, economic, and political change.

“Women in Revolt!” is a vibrant tapestry of creativity, showcasing painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, film, and photography. It delves deep into issues and events that shaped history, like the British Women’s Liberation movement, legal changes impacting women, maternal and domestic experiences, Punk and indie music, Greenham Common and the peace movement, the visibility of Black and South Asian Women Artists, Section 28, and the AIDS pandemic.

This exhibition is a tribute to the diverse group of women who, often working outside traditional art institutions, were largely overlooked in artistic narratives. Now they’re getting the attention they deserve.
