No.
At least one of the following is true: she was involved in politics or government, she was royalty, she was a noblewoman. And certainly, that fact opened up opportunities for her that she would not have otherwise had. But that fact alone is not what she is primarily known for.

Using the same definition you used before, was she Italian?

Nice. I was about to guess a different art model that I found on a list of famous Italian women, but then I realized that there is a more famous one.
Next one will be up relatively soon.
