La Bella Self-researched
A portrait of an unknown woman in a sumptuous blue dress, exemplifying the Renaissance ideal of female beauty. The sitter's identity is debated, though she may be the same model as Titian's Venus of Urbino. The work is documented in a 1536 letter from the Duke of Urbino describing "that portrait of that woman in a blue dress." It hangs in the Sala di Venere.
