One of her extant paintings, ''Portrait of Pietro Manna'', (early 1560s) was praised by Giorgio Vasari, who saw it when he visited the family after her death. He wrote that Lucia, "dying, had left of herself not less fame than t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
