Veronica Fontana (1651–1690) was an Italian engraver.
Fontana was the daughter of the engraver Domenico Maria Fontana, [1] and was a native of Parma, [2] although she would be associated with Bologna for much of her career. [3] She was inspired by the example of the engraver Teresa Maria Coriolano, also of Bologna, and was encouraged in her pursuits by Elisabetta Sirani, [1] with whom she took lessons; she also studied with her father. [4] Fontana was proficient in woodcarving, and understood the effects of chiaroscuro, and her work was well-regarded during her lifetime. [1] During her career she produced portraits [4] and book illustrations as well as single sheet pieces. [1]
