The great early art historian [[Giorgio Vasari]] wrote this about Sofonisba: ‘''Anguissola has shown greater application and better grace than any other woman of our age in her endeavors at drawing; she has thus succeeded not only in drawing, coloring and painting from nature, and copying excellently from others, but by herself has created rare and very beautiful paintings."{{Citequote|date=October 2008}}
