Raphael - Raffaello Sanzio - Oil

The Portrait of a Young Woman (also known as La fornarina) is an oil on wood painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael, made between 1518 and 1520. The woman is traditionally identified with the fornarina (bakeress) Margherita Luti, Raphael's Roman mistress, though this has been questioned. The woman is pictured with an oriental style hat and bare breasts. She is making the gesture to cover her left breast, or to turn it with her hand, and is illuminated by a strong artificial light coming from the external. Her left arm has a narrow band carrying the signature of the artist, RAPHAEL URBINAS. It has been suggested that the right hand on the left breast reveals a cancerous breast tumour disguised in a classic pose of love. Now in the collection of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica in Palazzo Barberini, Rome.
