Caterina Cherubini

Caterina Cherubini (died 1811) was an Italian miniature painter.

Cherubini, active for much of her career in Rome, was named a member of the Accademia di San Luca in 1760; the Accademia contains in its collection an anonymous oil portrait of her. She is said to have worked in pastel during her career.[1] Her husband, whom she married in 1750, was the Spanish painter Francesco Preciado de la Vega.[2] She is said to have been a poet as well.[3]

In 1788 Caterina Cherubini and her husband were inducted as honorary members of the Accademia Clementina in Bologna.[4]
