Abstract

This thesis investigates the development of the biography of the Baroque portrait painter, Mary Beale (1633-1699), through historiography. The conventional gendered construction of Mary, primarily as a wife and mother, and secondarily as an artist, will be traced and examined, from the earliest art historical references to her, to the most recent.
