2.  Here are some works by Henry Ossawa Tanner (June 21, 1859 – May 25, 1937).  He was the only black student at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and was a favorite of professor Thomas Eakins.  Tanner was the first African-American painter to gain international acclaim.

Here are some works by Italian Renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola (c. 1532 – 16 November 1625).  She studied with Michelangelo Buonarroti, and painted for many royal figures.  Her success paved the way for larger numbers of women to pursue serious careers as artists.
