Fede Galizia
Duchy of Milan, 1578–1630
Fede Galizia was a Duchy of Milan Early Baroque Italian artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Fede Galizia was born in Milan.
Fede Galizia (c. 1578 – c. 1630) was an Italian painter of still-lifes, portraits, and religious pictures. She is especially noted as a painter of still-lifes of fruit, a genre in which she was one of the earliest practitioners in European art. She is perhaps not as well known as other female artists, such as Angelica Kauffman and Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, because she did not have access to court-oriented or aristocratic social circles, nor had she sought the particular patronage of political rulers and noblemen.
