Isabella Piccini (born Elisabetta Piccini 1644-1732)[1] was an Italian artist and nun. She worked in the mediums of etching, engraving, and illustration.
Piccini was born in Venice in 1644.[3] Her father was etcher and engraver Giacomo Piccini.[4] He trained Piccini in engraving and illustration in the style of the great masters such as Peter Paul Rubens and Titian.[1] Piccini became a Franciscan nun in 1666, joining the Convent of Santa Croce. Upon joining, she changed her name to Sister Isabella.[1]
Prominent Italians commissioned works from her, including portraits and religious artworks. Giovanni Antonio Remondini distributed her prints throughout Europe.[5] All income she made was split between her convent and her family.[1]
