Sofonisba Anguissola Posters and Art Prints

This is the self-portrait of Sofonisba Anguissola. Anguissola, the oldest of seven children, was of noble descent, and her father assured her that she would have the best education in whatever passion she intended to pursue. He apparently was a man of his word, and Michelangelo became Anguissola's unofficial mentor. She received great opportunities due to her wealth and status, but she was still denied many possibilities as an artist because she was a woman.
