"Fede Galizia (or Gallizi) of Milan was first noted for artistic achievement by historian and painter Gian Paolo Lomazzo when she was twelve years old.  Her father Annunzio Galizia was an established miniaturist and presumably instructed his daughter.  Fede Galizia began her career as a portrait painter, afterward extending her practice to religious subjects and still-lifes.  Objects are treated monumentally in her still-lifes  . . .  the element of decay that is present in the still-lifes of her contemporaries is not to be found in Galizia's work.  Her paintings are characteristically austere and simple."
