Still Life Of Cherries In A Bowl By Fede Galizia

Fede Galizia was an amazing painter that was born in Milian, Italy in Ciara 1578 and died in Ciara 1630. Around the age of twelve, Fede Galizia had one of her first patrons and it was her father's friend Paolo Morigia and he even wrote in one of his novels that she was “becoming a truly noble painter.” As a young girl, her father Nunzio Galizia taught her how to paint in his workshop. From learning from her father she developed similar types of techniques and also painted miniatures like her father. Fede’s name means “faith,” and she gained popularity by painting portraits of other great artists. She was also one of the first to use still life, which probably led to 44 of her 63 paintings were still lifes. Probably because Fede painted
Purpose of art. Fede was inspired to paint this picture from her other still life of peaches in a bowl. She even used the same porcelain bowl for this painting like the bowl of peaches. Maybe she even used the same porcelain bowl because she is feeling the same emotions as when she did when she painted the bowl of peaches. One popular style that Fede Galizia used was mannerism and it was very popular during the middle ages. This type of painting comes from the Italian word “maniera” meaning “style” and had a few vanishing points, elongated or stretched artwork, had a lot of commotion in it, and have abstract elements. Upon looking at her many paintings, viewers will notice the elegant touch and many vanishing points by using mannerism. She also used a painting technique called chiaroscuro. By the artist using the two colors grey and black Fede Galizia shows a lot of different emotions. The black in the painting represents grief, despair, sorrow, or to hide her real emotions, so maybe she feels sad and wants to hide it. The color grey is neither bright nor dark so maybe she feels no joy but doesn't want to show it using a bright color, so she tries to hide it. What drew you to this
