Sofonisba Anguissola, a Painter and a Lady-in-Waiting
View through CrossRef
Relying on primary source documents, Cecilia Gamberini outlines the reality of
Sofonisba Anguissola’s experiences in the Household of Queen Isabel of Valois following
the artist’s appointment to the Spanish court in 1559. Anguissola’s position
is generally credited to her two roles there: painter and lady-in-waiting. The author
argues that while Anguissola’s appointment was due in part to her remarkable
painted self-representations, it was also facilitated by a largely overlooked network
of familial contacts and the political climate of the time. Analyses of Anguissola’s
behaviour in the Queen’s Household also offers a glimpse into the young woman’s
personality, which was at times irreverent and rebellious, and the opportunity
for new attributions.
