Woman with a Veil

Artist: Raphael (Urbino 1483-Rome 1520)

Date: ca. 1512-1515

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Pitti Palace, Florence, Italy

Description

The veil over the hair, from which the name of this splendid work by Raphael is derived, indicates that the woman is married, yet her precise identity is unknown. According to Giorgio Vasari (1550, 1568), who observed the painting in the house of the merchant Matteo Botti in Florence, the work features Margherita Luti, known as La Fornarina, a woman who Raphael loved throughout his life, but the exquisite gown and jewels are more indicative of a commissioned portrait of a young noblewoman.

Executed by Raphael after moving from Florence to Rome in 1508, the painting represents one of the apexes of the master painter's portrait work.
