A revision of Fede Galizia’s portraiture activity may reconsider the comparison between the image of the Milanese memorialist Paolo Morigia (Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, Milan; signed and dated 1598) and a misterious Falconer kept in the Koelliker Collection (inv. LK00062). the two paintings share the same combination of miniaturistic passages and brutal, realistic representation of male uglyness. the way the tissues, eye wrinkles, complexions and structures of the skull and nose are painted is, on the other hand, very similar. Unfortunately, the identity of the Falconer is unknown; even the presence of a Savoy coat of arms (visible on the rattle hanging on the falcon’s paw) does not help us in identification. the reconsideration of this painting also leads to the evaluation of the hypothesis, destined for now to remain so, of trying to attribute tentatively to “Madonna Fede” also the portrait of an anonymous Lady at the Hermitage Museum (inv. ГЭ-36), formerly assigned to another female artist of the late reinassance, Sofonisba Anguissola.
