"Thanks to an unexpected bequest, New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art now boasts the largest collection of works by the Mannerist painter and nun Orsola Maddalena Caccia (1596–1676) outside the artist’s native Italy.
"Upon hedge-fund manager Errol M. Rudman's death last year, he surprised the Met with a gift that included three works by Caccia, whose art is rarely represented in US museum collections - or even outside of the convent in Moncalvo, Italy, where she lived and worked."
A recent article in Artnet News,reported on this bequest.
