Abstract:

Through different historical epochs and indeed within individual epochs, one encounters a considerable number of "views" of older women. By studying these works of art as expressions of a knowledge that is handed down at a cultural level, one discovers that they are a compelling reflection of the complexity and diversity involved in women ageing.
