FURTHER DETAILS
ENGLISH SCHOOL AROUND 1600, PORTRAIT OF LAURA DE NOVES, OIL ON PANEL, INSCRIBED

Our painting, which probably hung in a gallery of illustrious men, is an imaginary retrospective portrait of Laura de Noves (1310-1348), poetess and muse of Petrarch (1304-1374). The iconography of the model seems to have become fixed during the Renaissance: the Laurentian Library holds two representations of Laura de Noves wearing a cap that comes down to a point on the forehead. One is a portrait painted on a 1463 manuscript for Petrarch's Canzoniere e Trionfi. The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, holds a portrait of the poet and his muse dated around 1510 using the same iconographic model (inv. no. WA1897.22).
