Notes
  • Vasari mentions that Romano painted a portrait of the "viceroy of Naples' wife" for Francis I of France following a design by Raphael and executed entirely by Romano himself save for the face worked by Raphael (pp. 359-60). This is the only source for Raphael's intervention, but the same remarks could apply equally to the very similar Portrait of Isabella di Aragona (see Gallery below). However x-ray and infrared photography reveals that the face of the Louvre version has indeed been reworked (Brown p. 87 n. 124).
  • The portrait was commissioned from Raphael by Cardinal Bibbiena for Francis, known for his collection of female beauty, a collection that included Leonardo's Mona Lisa, already famous. Brown suggests that it was for this latter reason that Raphael reworked the face, anxious that favourable comparison should be made between the two. Brown describes the portrait as opening a new chapter in the history of Italian female imagery. Features such as the loose flowing hair, the widely separated arms exposing the torso, and the knees frankly spread apart (indeed the very depiction of the knees), eroticize the subject in a way new to Central Italian portraiture of the time (Brown pp. 80-1)
  • The portrait was formerly thought to be of Jeanne d'Aragon. This was always rather unlikely given the nature of the portrait and that Jeanne was barely sixteen years old at the time of its commission and unmarried. In 1997 Michael Fritz established it as a portrait of Doña Isabel de Requesens, a celebrated beauty of the time married to Ramón de Cardona, viceroy of Naples.
