After Jacopo Negretti, called Palma il Vecchio, Italian c.1480-1528- Portrait of a young woman known as 'La Bella'; oil on canvas, inscribed 'TITIANUS F.' (lower left), 100 x 74.4 cm., (unframed). Provenance: Private Collection. UK. Note: The present work is a 19th-century copy after the original painting by Palma, of similar dimensions, and currently held in the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid [no.310 (1959.2)]. Palma's oil was painted in c.1518-20, and combines various elements typical of Venetian Renaissance art. Previously attributed to Titian (c.1485/90-1576), and indeed known in the past as 'La Bella de Tiziano', Palma's work has variously been housed in the Sciarra-Colonna collection, Rome; the collection of Baron Edmond de Rothschild in Château Ferrière; and the Villa Favorita, Switzerland.
