From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teresa Margherita Volò Caffi (26 March 1648 – 20 September 1710) was an Italian painter of still lifes of flowers and fruit. She was born Margherita Volò, in Milan to Vincenzo Volò (1620-1671), known Vincenzino dei fiori (a still-life painter himself) and his wife Veronica Masoli (1631-1714). In 1668, she married with Ludovico Caffi (1644-1695) (also a still-life painter) in Cremona. She settled in Piacenza in 1670. She is known to have had at least four children. She died in Milan at the age of sixty.[1]

There are a number of unsigned paintings depicting "still lives with flowers", previously attributed to Francesco Guardi, known as Pseudo-Guradi Maestro di Fiori Guardeschi, but now postulated as likely the work of either Francesco Duramano, Carlo Henrici, Elisabetta Marchioni, and/or Margherita.[2][3][4][5][6]
