Q. What artist went suddenly blind in 1743 and died insane?
A. Rosalba Carriera
Carriera (1675-1757), Venetian Rococo artist, decorated snuff boxes with miniature paintings done on an ivory surface. This was a new technique that she pioneered, different from earlier methods using parchment as the surface for miniatures. Later she became famous for her finely-rendered pastel work, as evident in this self-portrait done in pastel that currently hangs in the Uffizi in Florence.
When her sister, Giovanna, died of tuberculosis in 1737, Carriera became so depressed that she did not work for several months. Sadly, next her eyesight started to deteriorate due to cataracts and within ten years she was completely blind. Carriera spent her last ten years in total seclusion where she battled with episodes of major depression.
This beautiful portrait of Countess Anna Katharina Orzelska, daughter of the King of Poland, can be seen at Gemäldegalerie Alte Meiseter [Picture Gallery of the Old Masters] in Dresden, Germany.
