Diana Scultori
Diana Scultori (b.1535 AD) is an Italian Artist from Mantua, Italy. She is one of 4 children born to Sculptor and Engraver Giovanni Battista Ghisi (b.1503-1575 AD). Diana learned the art of engraving from her father and the artist Giulio Romano (b.1499-1546 AD). She received her first public recognition as an engraver in Giorgio Vasari’s second edition of ''Vites'' (1568). In 1565 she met her first husband, architect Francesco da Volterra (Capriani). The pair moved to Rome by 1575. Once in Rome, Diana used her knowledge of business within the art world to progress her husband’s career. Soon after moving to Rome, on June 5th, 1575, Diana received a Papal Privilege to make and market her own work. She used the importance of signature and dedication to her advantage. Three years later (1578) she gave birth to her son Giovanni Battista Capriani. Both Diana symbolically and Francesco actively became members of the Confraternity of San Giuseppe during their artistic careers. The last known print by Diana dates 1588. It is unlikely that she created new prints past this time due to the strong emphasis she put on signing and dating her work throughout her career. She married another architect named Giulio Pelosi after Francesco da Volterra's death in 1594. Diana died several years later in 1612.
==Early Life==
The cultural changes associated with the Renaissance were providing women greater opportunities to study art,〔Women artists: Encyclopedia II- Women artists- renaissance era〕 and it became possible for female artists to gain international reputations.The work of Diana Scultori, born in 1547, is a reflection of this changing climate. One of three daughters of the artist Giovanni Battista Mantuano (family name Scultori). As a woman she was unable to have a formal apprenticeship, but her father taught her his trade. Despite her lack of education in drawing specifically, she was able to use drawings from other artists to learn how to produce engravings. It was not unusual for the daughters of artisans to be trained in the family craft, but it was considered uncommon for a daughter to be trained in engraving and to make it a public career as she did.〔Lincoln〕 She received her first public recognition as an engraver in Giorgio Vasari’s second edition of ''Vites'' (1568).
After her marriage in 1575 to the aspiring architect Francesco da Volterra, the couple moved to Rome. Here, the focus of her work was reinterpreting works by artists linked to her husband and the papal workshops. Most prints were made to promote and support his career as an architect. She was well known for being concerned with maintaining a good reputation. She was regarded as a keen business woman, and one of the few women artists whom Vasari mentioned in the 1568 edition of his ''Lives, ''noting'' ''that she'' "''engraves so well that it is a thing to marvel at; and I who saw her, a very gentle and gracious girl, and her works, which are most beautiful, was struck with amazement."〔Mantuana (Mantovana; Scultori ), Diana, (Grove Art Online. 20 October 2006), 1〕 She worked within the restrictions encountered by artists of her time, female or otherwise. She used other artists' work as a foundation for her prints, but most of the drawings for her engravings came from either her husband, a family member, including her father, or an artist contemporary with whom she and her husband were acquainted.
