Description: | This painting is a copy after Titian's so-called portrait of Lavinia as Bride with a Fan, now in the Staatliche Gemäldegalerie, in Dresden. However, the artist has slightly changed the composition; the lady is now holding a rose instead of a fan and there is a red curtain and a landscape at the background. The painter seems to follow Rubens' copy of Titian's portrait rather than Titian's original, as the details of the dress and the small flower leaf on her chest show. There is a freedom and delicacy in the handling of the paint, especially on the highlights of the jewels, attractive in itself and surprising in a copy, which leads one to believe that it is a work of a talented artist. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Titian (Italian painter and draftsman, ca. 1488-1576) Æ After Previously attributed to Italian (Venetian) School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8858... | Go to resource |
