![Today’s post for @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna by #kunstfueruns 👉Is the young woman closing her cloak or is she about to let it fall? In any case, with this portrait Giorgione created a prototype for later depictions of courtesans and sweethearts in Venetian painting. ✨
“[...] on 1 June 1506, this was made by the hand of the master Giorgio da Castelfranco, the colleague of master Vincenzo Catena, at the instigation of Mr. Giacomo.” This inscription can be found on the back of the painting (translated here from the Italian) and gives us one of our few fixed points in the life and work of Giorgione. ✨ The halflength portrait depicts a young woman in a fur-trimmed red cloak. Muted colouring and the fine Venetian shading of ‘sfumato’, actually adopted from Leonardo, perfectly combine with the sensual character of the subject. A white veil is wrapped across the young woman’s coiffured hair and falls in a gentle arc over the soft skin of her upper body. A vigorous laureltree (Italian: lauro) rises right behind her, set off against a dark background. It may be intended as a coded reference to the subject’s name but could also be an attribute of poetry, a symbol of the wish for fidelity in marriage or a reference to Daphne. Young Woman (‘Laura’), Giorgio da Castelfranco, called Giorgione, 1506. 🌿 #kunsthistorischesmuseum #vienna](http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/15ea0b4240e6d3032d8e1eea629bfd8c/5D983BD4/t51.2885-15/e35/c0.154.1440.1440a/s150x150/62197479_1112154822306026_5264497308322886844_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com)
