Margherita Caffi

Margherita Caffi (1650 – 20 September 1710) was an Italian painter of still lifes of flowers and fruit.

She was born Margherita Volo, in Milan to Francesco Volo (a still-life painter himself) and his wife, Veronica.

In 1668, she married Ludivico Caffi (also a still-life painter) in Cremona.

[1] There are a number of unsigned paintings depicting "still lives with flowers", previously attributed to Francesco Guardi, known as Pseudo-Guradi Maestro di Fiori Guardeschi, but now postulated as likely the work of either Francesco Duramano, Carlo Henrici, Elisabetta Marchioni, and/or Margherita.
