Raphael and La Fornarina
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres
about 1814
Oil on canvas, 26 x 21 1/2''
Cambridge, Fogg Art Museum
|
| | | This painting represents Ingre’s commentary on Raphael’s La Fornarina. We can see two people united in one (like on Leonardo’s Virgin and Child with Saint Anne), which look like the same person?!
La Fornarina is very unusual at least in two matters. The position of the sitter is the same as Mona Lisa's - we called it 'naked Mona Lisa'. And the placement of Raphael's signature is very unusual for this time. It is incorporated in the painting as a gravure on a bracelet.
