On occasion of #InternationalWomensDay , Asociacion JIMENA will be publishing a series of videos devoted to #medievalwomen (in Spanish). Tomorrow I will be discussing some of the recently digitised items from the Medieval and Renaissance Women project Medieval Manuscripts.

Oh my goodness, what a fantastic set of Habsburg portraits as board game pieces! Thanks to Kathleen Wilson-Chevalier for sharing these unusual family portraits with us! I’m thinking that Rocio Martinez will find these particularly appealing! We need some reproductions of these!

Ha sido una enorme alegría poder celebrar la previa del 8M participando del simposio “Protagonistas femeninas en la formación de las colecciones del ⁦Museo del Prado⁩,” bajo la coordinación académica de la prof. García Pérez. 🧵

Hoy por el #8M conviene recordad que en la Edad Moderna las mujeres NO estuvieron excluidas del poder, antes al contrario, fueron gobernadoras, regentes y garantes de la dinastía. Para muestra un botón: las dos esposas de Felipe IV, Isabel de Borbón y Mariana de Austria.

Today’s final session is a roundtable on patronage of Spanish royal women—our first speaker was Cecilia Paolini “The Queen of Spain Isabella of Bourbon & the Governor of Flanders Isabella of Habsburg: Commissions to Rubens & Jan Brueghel the Elder in support of the Spanish crown”

Si bien, gracias a trabajos como los de Silvia Z. Mitchell, conocemos bien la labor de Mariana de Austria como regente (1665-1675/77), aun queda mucho por saber sobre su papel político e influencia en la Corte de Carlos II como reina madre tras la muerte de don Juan de Austria (1679-1696).

Our long lunch break gave us the opportunity to visit the ‘Prado en Feminino’ Museo del Prado—really enjoyable, an ‘Easter egg hunt’ finding the red plaques which told the story of women’s contribution. We are back with Silvia Z. Mitchell speaking to us about the legacy of 4 Spanish queens
