Portrait of a Woman (La Bella) c. 1536. Artist: Tiziano Vecelli （Titian)
La Bella is a portrait of an unknown woman by Titian, painted around 1536 and now in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The work of a mature artist, it shows the woman with Renaissance ideal proportions and a natural expressive force. The composition is clear.
La Bella is often discussed as alternative to Titian's Portrait of Isabella d'Este in Vienna. because the order was cajoling rejuvenated portrait by the more than 60 years old art patron. Eye color, hair color, eyebrows and sex appeal would even homogenize all portraits of Isabella d'Est.
