Born in Cremona, Italy, she was the third daughter among the seven children of Amilcare Anguissola and Bianca Ponzoni. Her father was a member of the Genoa, Genoese minor nobility and encouraged his five daughters to develop artistic skills alongside their Humanism, humanist education. Lucia most likely trained with her renowned eldest sister Sofonisba Anguissola. Her paintings, mainly portraits, are similar in style and technique to those of her sister. Contemporary critics considered her skill exemplary; according to seventeenth-century biographer Filippo Baldinucci, Lucia had the potential to "become a better artist than even Sofonisba" had she not died so young. One of her extant paintings, ''Portrait of Pietro Manna'', (early 1560s) was praised by Giorgio Vasari, who saw it when he visited the family after her death. He wrote that Lucia, "dying, had left of herself not le ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
