Very little is known about Caffi, except that she created a new genre that was quite successful. She was particularly famous for her flower garlands that framed faces, animals and decorative designs. She would infuse her canvas with light and swirls against a dark background?a style that was not common to flower paintings of that time. Caffi enjoyed the patronage of both the Medici court and the court of Innsbruck. Thirty flower paintings have been attributed to her. Unfortunately, the paints she employed have deteriorated over time and many of her works have not survived. The two that hung in the Uffizi suffered damage in the 1993 bombing.
