Maddalena Corvina (1607–1664) was an Italian portrait and still life painter and engraver, specializing in miniature portrait paintings. She lived and worked in Rome, where the House of Medici were her patrons.[1][2] She apprenticed under her uncle, Francesco da Castello. Anna Angelica Allegrini was a student of Corvina.[2]
Works by Corvina are held in the Albani Library.[1] Corvina was the subject of a portrait by Claude Mellan in 1636.[3]
