The First Food Influencer? | Giovanna Garzoni

Was Giovanna Garzoni the world's first food influencer? Long before Instagram, this 17th-century Italian master was making "food art" famous across the courts of Europe. In this video, we explore the life of Giovanna Garzoni (1600–1670)—not just a skilled painter, but a shrewd businesswoman who amassed a fortune through her art. We also look at her astonishing, ground-breaking portrait of an Ethiopian prince, the earliest known European miniature of its kind. 🎨 Can you name five women artists?
