Florentine School, 16th Century
Portrait of a lady
oil on panel, 56 x 45.5 cm, framed
Provenance:
European Private Collection
An attribution to Giovanni Maria Butteri (Florence 1540–1606) has been suggested for the present painting. This panel can be compared to works by the artist, especially the Portrait of Bianca Cappello in Casa Vasari, Arezzo or the altarpiece in the church of Santa Monica in Florence.
Butteri was a pupil of Alessandro Allori and Francesco Salviati and collaborated in the fresco decoration of the large cloister at Santa Maria Novella. His most celebrated work is the Visit by Prince Francesco I de’ Medici to Bortolo d’Alvise’s glassworks, executed for the Studiolo of Francesco I in the Palazzo Vecchio.
The present painting is a typical Florentine mannerist portrait as the aristocracy and upper classes wanted to immortalize themselves in the dignity of their public roles. In this way the image respects the rigorous norms of the Catholic reformation, which was a result of the Council of Trent and at the same time the portrait serves as a precise record for the sitter´s family.
