Caterina Angela Pierozzi

Caterina Angela Pierozzi was an Italian painter active in Florence in the final quarter of the 17th century, documented as working for the Medici Grand Duchess Vittoria della Rovere, who was well-known for her patronage of female artists. Specialising in miniatures, she was one of only two female artists to be admitted to the Accademia e compagnia delle arti del disegno prior to the 18th century. As it stands, there is only one known extant work by her, a signed and dated miniature on vellum depicting the Annunciation.
