Sofonisba Anguissola (italiana, ca. 1532-1625)

Sofonisba Anguissola (c. 1532– 16 November 1625), also known as Sophonisba Angussola or Sophonisba Anguisciola, was an Italian Renaissance painter born in Cremona to a relatively poor noble family. She received a well-rounded education that included the fine arts, and her apprenticeship with local painters set a precedent for women to be accepted as students of art. As a young woman, Anguissola traveled to Rome where she was introduced to Michelangelo, who immediately recognized her talent, and to Milan, where she painted the Duke of Alba. The Spanish queen, Elizabeth of Valois, was a keen amateur painter and in 1559 Anguissola was recruited to go to Madrid as her tutor, with the rank of lady-in-waiting. She later became an official court painter to the king, Philip II, and adapted her style to the more formal requirements of official portraits for the Spanish court. After the queen's death, Philip helped arrange an aristocratic marriage for her. She moved to Sicily, and later Pisa and Genoa, where she continued to practice as a leading portrait painter.

I’ll probably make a Lil angsty comic about the turtles figuring out what Casey implied by not recognizing their baby sister. Maybe even a little bit of… death scare? Near death experience? Who knows what the future holds 😈

I know I made a lot of changes in my Kunoichi AU but the most important things stay practically the same. XD
