Orsola Maddalena Caccia
With its mountain of fruit and dance of flowers in the background, this is one of the most ambitious still-life compositions by Caccia, an important woman artist who ran a studio that supported an Ursuline convent at Moncalvo. Her idiosyncratic way of individuating each stem of the tulips and irises should be compared to her Flowers in a Grotesque Vase, also in this gallery.
Orsola Maddalena Caccia, born Theodora Caccia was an Italian mannerist painter and Christian nun. She painted religious images, altarpieces, and still lifes.
