Caterina Tarabotti (active until 1690) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. She was born in Venice, and a pupil of Alessandro Varotari, called Padovino, (1588-1649) and his sister Chiara (1584-1663 c.a). The sister of proto-feminist writer Arcangela Tarabotti, she practiced chiefly in Vicenza (her paintings at chiesa di San Silvestro were destroyed in 1938), where she painted historical pictures. She died in financial constraints at the Ospedaletto di San Giobbe in Venice on 8 February 1693, aged 78.
