Ahead of her Time: Pioneering Women from the Renaissance to the Twentieth Century was an exhibition of female Old Master and twentieth-century artists.

The exhibition brought together works by over twenty female artists, spanning five centuries. In addition, it included artworks depicting, and objects owned by, notable women from artistic and intellectual spheres.

Many of the paintings and artworks had not been seen in public for decades, and the exhibition brought to light discoveries, including an unpublished painting by Artemisia Gentileschi and several new attributions.

Featured artists were: Anna Maria Bassi, Mary Beale, Anna Rimbault-Borrel, Orsola Maddalena Caccia, Rosalba Carriera, Giulia Crespi, Erminia de Sanctis, Victoria Dubourg, Grace Adelaide Fletcher, Lavinia Fontana, Fede Galizia, Grace Gassette, Artemisia Gentileschi, Antoinette-Cécile-Hortense Haudebourt-Lescot, Laura Coombs Hills, Angelica Kauffmann, Catherine Lusurier, Elisabetta Marchioni, Athénaïs Paulinier, Sophie Frémiet Rude and Anne Vallayer-Coster.
