The Women
Artists’ Trail
Inventory
Works by women artists
in Florence
O
ver the past fifty years, research regarding
women artists has become more prevalent.
Nonetheless, the lack of accurate,
detailed information and documentation
regarding their lives and works has greatly hindered
the advancement of public knowledge. The chapters in
this book spotlight women artists whose works are on
public view in Florence. The inventory that follows was
originally intended to simply provide a list of viewable
and hidden works by women; its size would attest to
the volume of treasures. However, as each artist’s story
began to deeply intrigue us, Linda Falcone and I added
what details we could in the hope that readers would
also enjoy learning about these women’s lives and work.
By no means complete, and full of intriguing
Nel corso degli ultimi cinquant’anni, la
ricerca sulle protagoniste femminili nel
mondo dell’arte si è progressivamente
ampliata. Nonostante ciò la mancanza di
una accurata, dettagliata informazione
e documentazione riguardo la loro vita e
attività artistica ha seriamente ostacolato
il progresso della loro fortuna pubblica.
I capitoli di questo libro mettono in
evidenza quelle donne artiste le cui
opere sono esposte nei musei fiorentini.
L’inventario che qui segue era
originariamente pensato per fornire una
semplice lista di lavori artistici nascosti,
ma visibili di autrici femminili, e la
sua dimensione è una conferma della
196
and frustrating lacunae, this list attests to the
wealth of works by women in Florence’s museums.
Unfortunately, in many cases, we could not glean even
the most basic information about some of the lesserknown artists. Although many may have multiple
works in Florence’s galleries, for us, they truly remain
‘invisible women.’ With our sincere hope that these
artists and their works receive recognition, we invite
readers—scholars, students and art lovers alike—to
share any information by sending comments, questions
and corrections to [email protected].
It is our greatest hope that all our readers may
join in our continuous search for Invisible Women
in Florence. There is so much to be uncovered in this
field!
quantità di questi tesori. Comunque, dato
che la storia di ogni singola artista ha
iniziato ad intrigarmi, Linda Falcone ed
io abbiamo aggiunto tutti i dettagli che
abbiamo potuto recuperare, nella speranza
che i lettori avrebbero gradito sapere
qualcosa in più sulla vita e le opere di
queste donne.
Per niente completa, piena di lacune
frustranti ed affascinanti al tempo stesso,
questa lista testimonia la ricchezza di
“arte al femminile” nei musei fiorentini.
Sfortunatamente, in molti casi, non
abbiamo potuto scovare nemmeno le
più elementari informazioni su alcune
delle artiste meno note. Anche se le
gallerie cittadine ospitano diverse loro
opere, per tutti noi rimangono davvero
“donne invisibili”. Con la nostra più
sincera speranza che queste artiste e la
loro produzione possano ricevere presto
il meritato riconoscimento, invitiamo
i lettori — così come studiosi, studenti
e appassionati d’arte — a inviare
commenti, domande e correzioni a
[email protected]. Ci
auguriamo vivamente che chi ci legge
possa condividere con noi l’incessante
ricerca di Donne Invisibili a Firenze.
C’è ancora così tanto da scoprire su questo
tema!
Adèle d’Affry, Duchess of Colonna di Castiglione
(Fribourg, Switzerland, 1837–Castellamare, Naples, 1879)
A member of the Swiss nobility, she was one of the foremost sculptors
in Paris during her time. A painter as well as a sculptor, she studied
in both Switzerland and Rome. In Rome, she met and married Don
Carlo Colonna (Duke of Castiglione), intending to end her artistic
career once the couple wed. The duke died of typhoid fever a few
months after their marriage, and Adèle, who wished her art to be
judged on the par with that of her male counterparts, continued to
work under the masculine pseudonym of ‘Marcello’.
Membro della nobiltà svizzera, è stata una delle più note scultrici nella
Parigi del suo tempo. Dedita alla pittura oltre che alla scultura, studiò
in Svizzera e a Roma, dove incontrò e sposò Don Carlo Colonna
(Duca di Castiglione), programmando di terminare la sua carriera
artistica una volta unitasi in matrimonio. Il duca morì di febbre
tifoidea pochi mesi dopo le nozze e Adèle, desiderando che la sua arte
venisse considerata al pari di quella dei suoi colleghi uomini, continuò
a lavorare sotto lo pseudonimo maschile di ‘Marcello’.

Amelia Ambron
(XIX–XX century)
Born to a Jewish Italian family, Roman portraitist Amelia Almagià
Ambron was trained by Antonio Mancini, whose painting is deeply
linked to Verismo. She was a leading player in Alexandria’s art scene in
the 1940s and 1950s, and it was in the Ambrons’ Egyptian villa that
British novelist Lawrence Durrell wrote The Alessandria Quartet. Her
daughter Gilda was also a portraitist and her son Emilio, a painter and
sculptor of some note, worked in Florence and Rome.
Nata da una famiglia italo-ebraica, la ritrattista romana Amelia
Almagià Ambron è stata allieva di Antonio Mancini, le cui tele
sono fortemente legate al Verismo. E’ stata una figura di spicco nel
panorama artistico di Alessandria tra gli anni ‘40 e ‘50 e fu proprio
nella villa di famiglia in Egitto che lo scrittore Lawrence Durrell creò
‘The Alessandria Quartet’. Anche sua figlia Gilda divenne ritrattista, e
il figlio Emilio, pittore e scultore di una certa fama, lavorò tra Firenze
e Roma.

Isabel Bishop
(Cincinnati, Ohio, 1902–Bronx, New York, 1988)
An American painter and graphic artist, she was inspired by
Renaissance and baroque art, and particularly by Rubens’ works.
Much of her artwork depicted ordinary working-class women in
New York’s Union Square area; she envisioned herself as a ‘painter’s
painter.’ Bishop received the Outstanding Achievement in the Arts
Award from President Jimmy Carter in 1979 and was the first woman
to hold an executive position at the National Institute of Arts and
Letters. She is often referred to as ‘America’s best woman painter.’
Pittrice americana e grafica, si ispirò al Rinascimento e al Barocco, in
modo particolare ai lavori di Rubens. Molte delle sue opere ritraggono
la vita quotidiana delle donne della classe operaia della Union Square
Area di New York; si definiva una ‘pittrice di pittrici’. La Bishop
ricevette l’Outstanding Achievement in the Arts Award dalle mani
del Presidente Jimmy Carter nel 1979 e fu la prima donna a ricoprire
un ruolo esecutivo al National Institute of Arts and Letters. E’ da
molti ritenuta ‘la miglior pittrice d’America’.

(Mistowitz, Austria, 1849–Venice, 1910)
She studied in Prague before going to Venice to study at the
Accademia. Brandeis painted popular landmarks in Venice and
her paintings were often used on mementos for the city’s tourists.
Although she sojourned in Rome and Florence to develop her skills
as a landscape artist, her scenes of Venice continue to be her most
highly regarded works today.
Studiò a Praga prima di giungere a Venezia dove frequentò
l’Accademia. La Brandeis creò opere celeberrime a Venezia e queste

Sofia Cacherano Bricherasio
Anna Bonetti
(Torino, 1867–Mirandolo Terme, 1950)
She was primarily a landscape artist who adopted an Expressionist
technique. Bricherasio became one of the few painters from
Piedmont who were selected to participate in the first edition of
Venice’s Biennale in 1895. As the last descendent of the Cacherano
di Bricherasio family, she was a countess by birth who became well
known for her philanthropy.
Rosa Bonheur
E’ stata essenzialmente una paesaggista che utilizzava la tecnica
espressionista. La Bricherasio fu una delle poche pittrici piemontesi
selezionate per partecipare alla prima edizione della Biennale di
Venezia nel 1895. Contessa dalla nascita e ultima discendente della
famiglia Cacherano di Bricherasio, fu molto conosciuta per le sue
attività filantropiche.

The daughter of the famed French archeologist Desirè-Raoul
Rochette, Josèphine Calamatta was known for her portraiture, genre
paintings and religious imagery. She was trained by her husband, Luigi
Calamatta, an important Italian engraver who worked in Florence in
the late 1830s. After studying with decorative monumental painter
Hippolyte Flandrin, Calamatta debuted in the Salon de Paris in
1875. Deeply interested in Symbolism, the artist was also profoundly
influenced by neoclassic painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres.

Born to a family of diplomats, artists and writers, Daphne Maugham
was great-niece to William Beechey, a portraitist in the court of

Emma Ciardi
(Venice, 1875–1933)
She grew up in a family of painters; both her father Guglielmo and
brother Beppe were well-known Venetian artists. Her work is deeply
influenced by the Venetian tradition, capturing luminous scenes and
plein-air views. Though her art is considered reminiscent of Tiepolo

Maddalena Corvina
(Rome, 1607–1664)
Painter and engraver Maddalena Corvina enjoyed Medici patronage
like many of her female counterparts. Especially noted for portraiture
and still life, she was highly appreciated for her decorative paintings
and miniatures. Corvina apprenticed to her uncle, Flemish painter
Francesco da Castello, one of the most renowned miniaturists
working in Rome in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. She was
the teacher of painter Anna Angelica Allegrini, a Roman miniaturist.
Come molte delle sue omologhe femminili, Maddalena Corvina aderì
alla corte medicea in qualità di pittrice e incisore. Fu molto apprezzata
per i suoi disegni decorativi e le sue miniature e particolarmente
nota per i ritratti e le nature morte. La Corvina fu apprendista da
suo zio, il pittore fiammingo Francesco da Castello, uno dei più
rinomati miniaturisti che ha lavorato a Roma tra il sedicesimo e il
diciassettesimo secolo. Fece anche da maestra alla miniaturista romana
Anna Angelica Allegrini.

Helene de Beauvoir
(Paris, 1910–Goxwiller, 2001)
Helen de Beauvoir painted until she was 85 years old—six years
before her death. She was the sister of existential philosopher Simone
de Beauvoir. In Goxwiller, near Strasbourg, de Beauvoir was president
of a battered women’s center and her works were often related to
women’s issues and feminism.
Helen de Beauvoir dipinse fino all’età di 85 anni, sei anni prima della
sua morte. Era sorella della filosofa esistenzialista Simone de Beauvoir.
A Goxwiller, vicino Strasburgo, la de Beauvoir divenne presidente di
un circolo di donne maltrattate e le sue opere furono spesso collegate
alla questione femminile e al femminismo.

A Russian painter and designer, née Sarah Stern, she adopted her
uncle’s surname, Terk, in 1890 after she was sent to live with him. With
her second husband, French painter Robert Delaunay, she founded
the Orphism art movement, a version of Cubism known for its strong
colors and geometric shapes. She was the first living female to have a
retrospective exhibition at the Louvre (1964). In 1975, Delaunay was
named an officer of the French Legion of Honor.

Leonor Fini
(Buenos Aires, 1908–Paris, 1996)
A painter and illustrator with a flair for fashion, she worked with
Italian Surrealist designer Elsa Schiaparelli and illustrated the works
of Edgar Allan Poe and Shakespeare. A friend of Picasso, Max Ernst
and Salvador Dalì, Fini made the most of Bohemian life in Paris
during the 1930s. She was disguised as a boy until the age of five
to prevent her father from finding her runaway mother, who had
fled from Argentina to Trieste in 1908. Best known for her powerful
depictions of the female form, Fini also designed costumes and theater
decorations.
Pittrice e illustratrice con talento per la moda, ha lavorato con la

Salvador Dalì, la Fini sfruttò al massimo la vita ‘bohemien’ della Parigi
anni ‘30. Si travestì da ragazzo fino all’età di cinque anni per impedire
che il padre rintracciasse lei e la madre fuggite dall’Argentina a
Trieste nel 1908. Molto conosciuta per le sue forti immagini di forme
femminili, la Fini disegnò anche costumi e scenografie teatrali.

Fede Galizia
(Milan, 1578–1630)
While her historical paintings proved a banner to female adeptness
when it came to tackling complex themes, Galizia is best remembered
for her role in developing the still life genre. In 1602, at the age of 24,
she created Cup with plums, pears and a rose (ex Anholt Collection).
Though now lost, this painting became the first dated still life by
an Italian artist after Caravaggio’s Fruit basket (1596, Pinacoteca
Ambrosiana, Milan). Simple and austere, Galizia’s sophisticated,
uncluttered paintings often depict a single type of fruit, placed either
in a container or scattered around its base.
Mentre le sue tele storiche furono un emblema della versatilità
femminile nell’affrontare soggetti di tematica complessa, Fede Galizia
è ricordata soprattutto per il suo ruolo nello sviluppo del genere ‘natura
morta’. Nel 1602, all’età di 24 anni, creò Coppa con piume, pere e rose (un

Trained in figure painting and still life, Gambogi (née Danielson)
studied at the Finnish Art Society Drawing School in Helsinki. At
22 she moved to Paris, before traveling to Italy. After her marriage
to Raffaello Gambogi, one of Fattori’s pupils, the couple settled in
Torre del Lago and became part of the circle that developed around
composer Giacomo Puccini. In 1899, she became the first Finnish
woman to exhibit at Venice’s Biennale.
La Danielson studiò disegno di figura e nature morte alla Scuola di
Disegno della Società d’Arte Finlandese ad Helsinki. A 22 anni si
spostò a Parigi, prima di giungere in Italia. Dopo il suo matrimonio
con Raffaello Gambogi, uno degli allievi di Fattori, la coppia si stanziò
a Torre del Lago, dove divenne parte del jet-set che si era formato
intorno al compositore Giacomo Puccini. Nel 1899 divenne la prima
donna finlandese ad esporre alla Biennale di Venezia.

(Carinthia, Austria, 1919–)
One of the major figures of post-war Austrian art, painter and graphic
artist Maria Lassnig was trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in
Vienna. She went on to represent Austria at the thirty-ninth Venice
Biennale in 1980 and was the first Austrian woman to win the Grand
Austrian State Prize in 1988. Lassing is known for her avant-garde
feminist art and she is credited for having coined the phrase ‘bodyawareness painting.’ She was the first female professor of painting at the
Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, a traditionally male-dominated
sector. A filmmaker as well as an artist, Lassnig produced Kantate in
1992. In the movie, she performs a 14-verse song, representative of her
life. The artist lives in Vienna, and several of her works can be found at
New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art.
Una delle maggiori figure dell’arte austriaca del dopoguerra, Maria
Lassnig, pittrice e grafica, crebbe all’Accademia di Belle Arti a Vienna.
Fu invitata a rappresentare l’Austria alla trentanovesima Biennale di
Venezia nel 1980 e fu la prima donna austriaca a vincere il Gran
Premio di Stato Austriaco nel 1988. La Lassnig è nota per la sua
avanguardia femminista e a lei viene attribuito il termine ‘pittura della
consapevolezza del corpo’. E’ stata la prima donna docente di pittura
all’Accademia di Arti applicate di Vienna, un settore tradizionalmente
maschile. Come film-maker, la Lassnig ha prodotto Kantate nel 1992.

Olga Carol Rama
(Turin, 1918–)
Rama often explores erotic themes in her paintings. In Fascist Italy,
she fought against the issue of censorship. In the 1950s, she became
a member of the Movimento d’Arte Concreta, the Italian branch of
an abstractionist movement that originally developed in Switzerland
in the 1930s.
La Rama spesso esplora nei suoi dipinti il tema dell’erotismo. Nel corso
del ventennio fascista lottò contro la censura. Negli anni ‘50 divenne

naturalist. Born in Rome, Richards (née Gaggiotti) studied under
Nicola Consorti and Tommaso Minardi. Upon her marriage to Alfred
Bate Richards, she moved to England where her notable talent quickly
captured the attention of Queen Victoria, who, along with other royals
in France and Germany, commissioned her several portraits. Upon
her return to Italy in 1854, she worked in both Florence and Rome,
depicting religious and mythological themes as well as landscapes.
Fu ritrattista e pittrice di soggetti storici, ricordata soprattutto per
il suo ritratto di Alexander von Humboldt, un esploratore tedesco e
naturalista. Nata a Roma, la Gaggiotti-Richards studiò sotto la guida
di Nicola Consorti e Tommaso Minardi. Dopo il suo matrimonio con
Alfred Bate Richards, si trasferì in Inghilterra dove il suo notevole
talento richiamò rapidamente l’attenzione della Regina Vittoria che
le commissionò diversi ritratti, come in seguito fecero altri reali in
Francia e Germania. Dopo il ritorno della Gaggiotti in Italia nel
1854, continuò a lavorare a Roma e Firenze, dedicandosi sia a dipinti
a sfondo religioso o mitologico, sia ai paesaggi.
