jan 1, 1562 - Lavinia Fontana starts to learn how to paint.
Description:
She learns from her father, Prospero Fontana, who is a Bolognese Mannerist. She is in her early teens at this point. The year is a guess because it was not recorded. She was also taught basic education, which was not common for women of her time.
