Rosalba Carriera

Venetian Rococo painter

1675 CE to 1757 CE

Rosalba Carriera (7 October 1675 – 15 April 1757) is a Venetian Rococo painter.

In her younger years, she specializes in portrait miniatures.

She later becomes known for her pastel work, a medium appealing to Rococo styles for its soft edges and flattering surfaces.

In Prideaux Place, Padstow, Cornwall, there is a charming portrait by Carriera of Humphrey Prideaux, the archetypal gentry son pictured on his "Grand Tour," in which a love-letter from Carriera to the sitter is reputed to have been hidden behind the frame.

She has many male friends and many aristocratic admirers of her talent.
