Rosalia Novelli

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rosalia Novelli (born February 2, 1628 in Palermo , † around or after 1688 ibid) was an Italian Baroque painter in Sicily .

Rosalia was the daughter and student of Pietro Novelli . She worked in the father's workshop mainly as a copyist of his works. After his death in 1647, she married according to a dottore Durante. She continued his father's workshop and also managed his artistic legacy. On August 20, 1648, she married again, this time a Diego Bono. In the period that followed, she seems to have continued to copy Pietro Novelli's works. Nevertheless, a small number of pictures have survived that have their own signature. The painter, musician and poet Anna Fortino was her pupil. Their activity is documented until 1688.
