Portrait of a Young Woman (La Fornarina) by Raphael [Ask Us A Question] Title: Portrait of a Young Woman (La Fornarina)1518 - 1519 Artist: Raphael (Italy, 1483-1520) Oil on wood 33 3/8 x 23 1/2 inches (85 x 60 cm) Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Rome, Italy Description: Much of Raphael's energy during his last years was directed toward public activity, or at least toward commissioners who were influential in city life and life within the Papal States (he designed a villa, known as the Villa Madama, for Cardinal Giulio de' Medici). Furthermore, many critics attribute to him a series of compositions of the Holy Family and of Saints which were then executed by his followers. The famous portrait of a young woman, called La Fornarina, must also be viewed in this perspective, although it is signed, in Latin, "Raphael from Urbino". The signature is engraved on the thin ribbon that the girl wears just under her left shoulder. Tradition identifies her with Margherita Luti, a Sienese woman whom Raphael loved, the daughter of a baker from the Roman district of Santa Dorotea. The stiffness of her features and the heavy chiaroscuro effect make La Fornarina an almost certain workshop piece with the contribution of Raphael, for Raphael's own work from this period is far more delicate. There are several old copies of this painting, the most famous in the Galleria Borghese. Sonnet by the Artist to his Beloved _____________________ by Raphael Sanzio Sweet remembrance! Hour of bliss When we met, but now the more I mourn, as when the sailor is Star-less, distant far from shore. Now tongue, tho' 'tis with grief, relate How love deceiv'd me of my joy; Display the unaccustom'd cheat, But praise the nymph, and thank the boy. It was when the declining sun Beheld another sun arise; And there were actions should be done, No talking, only with the eyes. But I tormented by the fire That burnt within, was overcome: Thus when to speak we most desire The more we find we must be dumb. Media: Genuine 100% Hand Painted Oil Paintings On Canvas.
