Barbara Longhi

Barbara Longhi (1552–1638) was an accomplished painter of the Italian Renaissance, celebrated for her intimate devotional works and contributions as one of the few recognized women artists of her time. Born in Ravenna, she was trained by her father, Luca Longhi, and went on to develop a personal style marked by clarity, grace, and spiritual tenderness.

Her most admired works include the Madonna and Child with Saints and several refined images of the Virgin Mary, often infused with a quiet emotional depth and simplicity that appealed to both private devotion and church commissions. Though she did not produce large fresco cycles or altarpieces on the scale of her male contemporaries, Barbara Longhi carved out a respected place in Renaissance art through her delicate, heartfelt portrayals of sacred subjects.
