Carriera, Rosalba (Giovanna)

Carriera, Rosalba (Giovanna)
born Oct. 7, 1675, Venice
died April 15, 1757, Venice

Venetian pastel portraitist and miniaturist.

She became known for her miniature portraits on snuffboxes and was the first artist to use ivory rather than vellum as a support for miniatures. An originator of the Rococo style, she achieved spectacular success throughout Europe with her fashionable pastel portraits of notables. On a trip to Paris (1720–21) she received commissions for numerous portraits, including one of Louis XV as a child. In 1721 she was elected to the French Royal Academy.
