EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Dona Isabel de Requesens y Enriquez de Cardona-Anglesola" is a masterpiece by Giulio Romano. The painting, measuring 120x96 cm, can be found at the Louvre in Paris, France. Donning an exquisite red velvet gown adorned with jewels and a regal hat, Doña Isabel de Requesens exudes elegance and grace. She was the wife of Ramon Folc de Cardona i Anglesola, a prominent Spanish general and politician who served as viceroy of Naples during the Italian Wars. Additionally, she held the title of countess of Oliveto from 1515. Initially believed to depict Jeanne d'Aragon based on a sketch by Raphael, this artwork now stands as an homage to Doña Isabel's beauty and status. Isabella de Requesens also acted as regent for her son Ferrante in Alvito. Giulio Romano's skillful brushwork captures every intricate detail of her sumptuous attire and jewelry. The slashed sleeves add a touch of fashion-forwardness that was characteristic of Mannerist art during the Renaissance period. This portrait not only showcases the opulence associated with European aristocracy but also serves as a testament to Doña Isabel's influential role in society. It is truly an extraordinary piece that transports viewers back in time to witness the splendor and nobility that defined this era.
