Abstract

This paper explores how women artists in the Renaissance carried out their creative activities under the gender power relations. The study adopts a mixed research method, combined with historical document analysis and spatial mapping technology, and analyzes from three dimensions: physical environment, social network and psychological space. The study found that women artists set up exhibition spaces by setting up studios in private homes and participating in salon-style gatherings; They actively build social networks that include churches, aristocratic families, and businessmen to obtain artistic opportunities and material support. On a psychological level, they adopt a "dual strategy", following social norms in public and pursuing artistic innovation in private. Research shows that women artists in the Renaissance gained a place in the male-dominated art world by using a variety of strategies. They choose socially acceptable themes and add personal innovation to the details, both maintaining their social status and fulfilling their artistic pursuits. This balancing act has allowed them to successfully establish themselves as professional artists.
