Lucrezia Quistelli was a painter whom Giorgio Vasari praised when passing from his discussion of Plautilla Nelli to that of Sofonisba Anguissola in his vita of Properzia de' Rossi in his 1568 Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects. Sheila Barker has provided a more thorough biography and offered tentative attributions to her in “Lucrezia Quistelli (1541–94), a Woman Artist in Vasari’s Florence.” In Women Artists in Early Modern Italy: Careers, Fame, and Collectors, edited by Shiela Barker, 47–80.
