Susanna(h) A Hornebolt or Horenbout[nb 1] (1503–c. 1554[3]) was the first known female artist in England[4] and the Tudor dynasty.[5] The daughter of Flemish artist Gerard Hornebolt and sister of Lucas Horenbout,[3] Susannah learned to paint with her father. She gained recognition in Europe in 1521 when Albrecht Dürer bought her illumination, The Savior.

She came to England, as did Lucas, her father, and mother, Margaret Svanders Hornebolt. (The family name was anglicised to Hornebolt in 1534). She was a gentlewoman of the Privy Chamber for Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Parr and perhaps Queen Mary. She was reputedly an artist for Henry VIII and his court. Hornebolt married John Parker and after his death married John Gilman.[3][6]

Her work has been admired by contemporary artists Albrecht Dürer, Guicciardini and Vasari.
