Details

Italian painter, part of a family of painters, daughter of Giuseppe Recco. She specializes in still-life of fish like other members of her family. Although we have few information about her career, she deserves a place among the Neapolitan still-life painters. The first notes about her are offered by Bernardo de' Dominici in his "Lives of Neapolitan painters, sculptors, and architects," in an appendix to the life of Giuseppe Recco. The biographer does not mention her date of birth, but praises the qualities that in 1695 earned her a trip to Spain, where she worked at the court of King Charles II. //
