Sofonisba Anguissola (1532-1625) was a well-known portraitist during the Italian Renaissance, studying with a variety of artists from the age of 14. Upon receipt of a drawing she made for him, Michelangelo informally tutored her for a couple of years. A young Van Dyck visited her the year before her death at the age of 93, and wrote that she had taught him more than all of his teachers had up till then. Lost to history in the centuries since her death, the quality of her work is becoming known again.
Music is from Early Venetian Lute Music: "O Mia Cieca E Dura Sorte" and "La Villanella", Vincenzo Capirola Joyaux de la Renaissance Era: "Saitorella Tylman", Susato and "Italian Ground", Orlando Gibbons

Gorgeous!
I was so excited when I found her. Had never heard of her, but it was love at first sight. So very glad you like it.
Working on the art of Pompeii right now.
