Elisabetta Sirani
Italy 17th
Baroque painter who was one of the firsts woman to have international projection.
As usual, her “condition” of woman didn’t permit her entrance into an academia of arts, so she had to learn working at his father’s atelier. Even so, she was never allowed to draw with live models, which was an obstacle in order to develope proper anatomy skills.
At only 19 years old, she was the breadwinner of her family since her father became to sick to work, and the poor economical status of her family pushed her to be extremely productive.
Her special field were religious paintings, which atracted many noble visitors to her atelier, among them, there was the Great Duke Cosme III Médici.
Sadly she passed away at only 27 years old. Was she the founder member of the 27 club, maybe? What it is true is that in only 8 years of professional career, she left more than 200 paintings with an amazing technique.
As all my other Inktobers, the original piece is available at my online store.
