Title
"Allegory of Vanity"
Description
English: This painting was published for the first time in 1905 in the catalogue of Auction Ehrlich Galleries, coming from the collection of Giuseppe Salvatori. It was attributed to Justus Sustermans and the subject was identified as a portrait of Grand Duchess Vittoria della Rovere. Karla Langedijk (1983) was the first one to reject the authorship and the identification of the subject, considering that painting as the work of an anonymous painter and putting it in the rejected portraits of Vittoria della Rovere. In the catalogue of the auction of March 26th, 2021 (Keller, Zurich), the painting has been initially presented as a portrait of Vittoria della Rovere by Sustermans, according to the old attribution, and later corrected and presented as an Allegory of Vanity by Cesare Dandini, after the expertise of Sandro Bellesi. Johnatan Saso (2021) in his article about the portraits of Vittoria della Rovere welcomed the attribution of Bellesi to Cesare Dandini and stated that is not a portrait of the Grand Duchess, but a typical feminine figure used by Dandini in other allegorical paintings (most of them erroneously considered as portraits of Vittoria della Rovere in recent auctions). According to Saso there aren't any historical accounts or sources relating these paintings to the patronage of the Grand Duchess.
