Bernardo Strozzi, a renowned Italian Baroque painter, left an indelible mark on the art world with his captivating works. One of his notable pieces is "The Coquette, " created between 1656 and 1658 by Jeremias Falck. This painting portrays a flirtatious woman, capturing her allure and coquettish nature.

One cannot overlook Strozzi's talent for capturing everyday life, as seen in "La Cuoca.
