Violante Beatrice Siries (1709–1783) was an Italian painter. She was born in Florence and, from 1726, studied under Hyacinthe Rigaud and François Boucher in Paris. Upon returning to Florence she married Giuseppe Cerroti, about whom nothing is known, and continued her artistic studies under Francesco Conti.
Siries was talented in several genres, but established herself as a portraitist. She succeeded in gaining the patronage of the Medici family.[1] After the death of Giovanna Fratellini in 1731, she also received support from the Medici's financial partners, the Gondi family. She often travelled to Rome and Vienna to execute commissions.
