我們用這幅由Sofonisba Anguissola創作的女士肖像繼續婦女歷史月。好好享受吧！索福尼斯巴是一位意大利文藝復興時期的畫家，出生在克雷莫納一個相對貧窮的貴族家庭。她接受了包括美術在內的全面教育，她與當地畫家的學徒生涯開創了女性被接受為藝術學生的先例。年輕時，安吉索拉去過羅馬，在那裡她被介紹給米開朗基羅，米開朗基羅立即認識了她的才華，並在米蘭畫了阿爾巴公爵。西班牙瓦洛瓦女王伊麗莎白是一位熱衷於業餘繪畫的人，1559年，安吉索拉被招募到馬德里擔任她的家庭教師，級別為侍女。後來，她成為國王菲利普二世(Philip II)的官方宮廷畫家，並調整了自己的風格，以適應西班牙宮廷對官方肖像的更正式要求。女王去世後，菲利普幫助她安排了一場貴族婚姻。她搬到了西西里，後來搬到了比薩和熱那亞，在那裡她繼續作為一名領先的肖像畫家練習。她最有特色和最吸引人的畫作是她自己和家人的肖像畫，這些畫是她搬到西班牙宮廷之前畫的。尤其是她對兒童的描繪是新鮮的，受到了密切的觀察。在西班牙法庭上，她以盛行的官方風格繪製了正式的國家肖像畫。在後來的生活中，她還畫了宗教題材，儘管她的許多宗教繪畫已經丟失。1625年，她在巴勒莫去世，享年93歲。
We continue Women's History Month with this portrait of a lady, created by Sofonisba Anguissola. Enjoy!
Sofonisba was an Italian Renaissance painter born in Cremona to a relatively poor noble family. She received a well-rounded education that included the fine arts, and her apprenticeship with local painters set a precedent for women to be accepted as students of art. As a young woman, Anguissola traveled to Rome where she was introduced to Michelangelo, who immediately recognized her talent, and to Milan, where she painted the Duke of Alba. The Spanish queen Elizabeth of Valois was a keen amateur painter, and in 1559 Anguissola was recruited to go to Madrid as her tutor, with the rank of lady-in-waiting. She later became an official court painter to the king, Philip II, and adapted her style to the more formal requirements of official portraits for the Spanish court. After the queen's death, Philip helped arrange an aristocratic marriage for her. She moved to Sicily, and later Pisa and Genoa, where she continued to practice as a leading portrait painter.
Her most distinctive and attractive paintings are her portraits of herself and her family, painted before she moved to the Spanish court. In particular her depictions of children were fresh and closely observed. At the Spanish court she painted formal state portraits in the prevailing official style. In later life, she also painted religious themes, although many of her religious paintings have been lost. In 1625, she died at age ninety-three in Palermo.
