I came across this handsome fellow while visiting the Hidden Lane in Glasgow yesterday. It's a copy of a 2nd Century BC Roman statue know known as the Uffizi Boar. The flowers behind his left ear is pure Glasgow!

Woman with a Veil (Donna Velata) by Raphael (Italian) - Oil on canvas / c. 1512-1515 - Uffizi Gallery (Florence, Italy) #womeninart #portrait #raphael #art #oilpainting #uffizi #artwork #womanart #painting #renaissanceart #italianart #uffizigallery #fineart #womensart #artoftheday #artbsky #firenze
La velata, or La donna velata ("The woman with the veil"), is a well known portrait by the Italian Renaissance painter Raffaello Sanzio, more commonly known as Raphael. The veil over the hair, from which the name of this splendid work by Raphael is derived, indicates that the woman is married, yet her precise identity is unknown. According to Giorgio Vasari (1550, 1568), who observed the painting in the house of the merchant Matteo Botti in Florence, the work features Margherita Luti, known as La Fornarina (bakeress), a woman who Raphael loved throughout his life, but the exquisite gown and jewels are more indicative of a commissioned portrait of a young noblewoman. It is a three-quarter portrait where one of the shoulder set behind emphasizes the spatial depth and modulations of light and shade. The dark background highlights the pink skin tones of the young woman and the luminosity of her pale silk clothing. The gesture of placing her right hand to her heart is perhaps an expression of devotion and love, but the position of the other arm extended in the foreground is a device to spotlight the sumptuous material of the sleeve and the exquisite interplay of light in the folds. On closer inspection, the gown is the central focus of the painting, created through extraordinarily masterful skill, while the woman's face, set back slightly and partly in shade, and in particular her deep and penetrating dark eyes, express the subject's inner thoughts. The overall effect is both complex and extraordinary.

Autoritratto by Emilia de Divitiis (Italian) - Oil on canvas / 1928 - Galleria degli Uffizi (Florence, Italy) #womeninart #womanartist #art #femaleartist #oilpainting #womensart #EmiliadeDivitiis #GalleriadegliUffizi #UffiziGallery #PalazzoPitti #Galleriad'ArteModerna #deDivitiis #
In 1928, Italian artist Emilia de Divitiis portrayed herself in a formal pose, likely while painting. She is shown with her head turned, gazing slightly to the side. The artist represents herself with a serene face, smiling, dressed in the clothes of the trade. The colors vary from light to dark creating strong contrasts that are evident between the black of her short curly hair and the red of the drape in the background that contrasts with the white of her low-cut shirt and the paleness of her skin. The brushstrokes are short and contribute to creating this play of light and shadow on the fabric. The artist demonstrates the influence of her mentor Francesco Paolo Michetti and his naturalistic painting style, derived from the realism tradition of 19th century pictorials. De Divitiis, in fact, attended the "Conventino" of Francavilla a Mare for 8 years to learn from master Michetti … and it was precisely during this period that she made this work. In the following years, her painting grew closer to Cézanne's techniques and her attention moved to the more intimate subjects like family. This self portrait was donated by the artist in 1978 to the Modern Art Gallery of Palazzo Pitti (Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Palazzo Pitti).

Autoritratto in azzurro (Self-portrait in blue) by Marisa Mori (Italian) - Oil on wood / 1929 - Galleria degli Uffizi (Florence, Italy) #WomenInArt #art #WomanArtist #GalleriadegliUffizi #Uffizi #UffiziGallery #1920s #WomensArt #FemaleArtist #MarisaMori #Mori #WomenArtists #BlueskyArt #SelfPortrait
“Please don't write a biography, it’s almost impossible to know someone ... Even if the undersigned were to recount hour by hour what happened during her long existence it wouldn’t matter: I myself don’t even know who I am.” -- Italian artist Marisa Mori, at 78 She responded this way following belated recognition from critics, cutting short her possibility of defining herself and her own artistic experience. She had always sought to avoid the risk of being "pigeon-holed," moving quickly among multiple forms of creativity guided by free, non-conformist thought that admitted the coexistence of different styles. Born in Florence in 1900, at 25 she was admitted to the Felice Casorati School in Turin where she trained alongside the master and a group of promising female students. Four years later, this 1929 self-portrait conveys the character of that period: a "frown" made popular by an increase in exhibition and sales successes, but also the rigorous lilac color of the blouse without frills, as imposed by the almost monastic rules of the school. Mori presents herself with long dark hair from the shoulders up, her body angled slightly away from us. She's wearing a simple, sleeveless, pale lavender top. Her expression is serious as she turns in our direction. The background is a muted, greenish-gray. In the 1930s, Mori's need to release new energy took over and she joined Futurism to substitute rhythms and colors for studies from life. Her transition was sudden and unconditional, leading her to participate from 1932 in numerous exhibitions of the movement. Later, the rise of restrictive laws led her to distance herself from Futurism, offering refuge in her Florentine home to her Turin friends. Following World War II, she continued to paint from life as Casorati had taught her, but in a freer more isolated way, liberated from the sense of collective work that she had always sought. She passed away in Florence in 1985.

Autoritratto (Self-portrait) by Ida Botti Scifoni (Italian) - Oil on canvas / 1839 - Palazzo Pitti (Florence, Italy) #womeninart #art #selfportrait #italianart #oilpainting #fineart #portrait #womanartist #womensart #IdaBottiScifoni #femaleartist #artwork #palazzopitti #uffizigallery #beauty #style
The Roman painter Ida Botti Scifoni represents herself in three-quarters, while she turns suddenly towards the viewer, her gaze languid and deep, her expression sweet and reassuring. Her dark black hair is combed according to the fashion of the 1830s, with a central part, a braid wrapped at the nape of the neck and cascades of curls framing the face with delicate features. The austere and unadorned forest green clothing is embellished by a large shawl with flowers and white, red and green stripes, almost as if to allude to the colors of the future Italian flag. Scifoni’s training took place mainly in Rome, where she learned the rudiments of painting, then dedicating herself to portraiture and still lifes, considered at the time the most suitable genres for the few women who at the time were allowed to apply themselves to the figurative arts. She later also tried her hand at historical compositions and genre painting with notable canvases, such as The Roman Citizen and Saint Francis Xavier. After moving to Florence, she married Felice Scifoni, affiliated with the Carboneria and in exile there since 1833, where he was serving his sentence for having participated in the Romagna uprisings. Ida Botti continued her artistic career, first as a student of Giovanni Salvagni, then as an independent artist, portraying some noblewomen of the time, including Maria Mercede di Bonilla and Matilde Bonaparte, daughter of Jerome Bonaparte, king of Westphalia and brother of Napoleon, and from 1841 wife of the Russian prince and magnate Anatolio Demidov. Ida Botti introduced the writer Amelia Caiani to Matilde, helping to create a sort of female enclave in the living room of the Demidov villa where fashion, clothes, dances and artistic subjects were discussed.

Flora by Tiziano Vecellio aka Titian (Italian) - Oil on canvas / c. 1517 - Le Gallerie Degli Uffizi (The Uffizi Gallery - Florence, Italy) #womeninart #titian #art #uffizigallery #painting #italianart #portrait #TizianoVecellio #GallerieDegliUffizi #artoftheday #firenze #florenceitaly #uffizi
A young woman emerges from the brown background of the painting, holding out a bouquet of spring flowers, consisting of violets, rosebuds and jasmine. She is dressed in ancient style, with a bright white robe that slides down over her right shoulder, offering a glimpse of her breast, while her head gently rests on her left shoulder as she gazes outside of the painting. Her face, with its delicate features, meets all of the cannons of 16th-century Renaissance beauty: luminous pale skin, pink cheeks and a face framed by loose long, copper blonde hair - the typical hair colour of women painted by Titian (hence the term “Titian red”). The subject has been identified as “Flora”, the nymph bride of Zephyr, whose story is Greek in origin, told to us by Ovid. This identification dates back to Joachim von Sandrart, Dutch historian who saw the work in around 1635 in the collection of don Alfonso Lòpez, Spanish ambassador in Amsterdam. Don Alfonso Lòpez sold the painting to Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria, and it was taken to Florence in 1793 as part of an exchange of artworks between the Imperial Belvedere Gallery in Vienna and the grand dukes of Tuscany. The fame of this painting is shown by the many engravings made of it from the 16th century onwards.
