Laura Bernasconi

Still-life with Flowers

Laura Bernasconi was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, known to be active in 1674. Born and died in Rome, she trained with Mario Nuzzi, and like him, painted still life paintings of flowers. This same thematic had been favored by Giovanna Garzoni, another woman painter in Rome who died in 1670.
