EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, presumed to be Catherine Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus, is a stunning depiction of nobility and grace. Painted around 1470 by the renowned artist Giovanni Bellini (c. 1431-1516), this oil on canvas print showcases his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of his subjects. Catherine Cornaro (1454-1510) was an influential figure during her reign as Queen of Cyprus from 1474 to 1489. To ensure Venice's control over Cyprus after her husband's death, she declared herself a "Daughter of Saint Mark" aligning herself with the Venetian Republic. In this half-length portrait, Catherine exudes regality and elegance. Her youthful features are accentuated by a delicate headdress adorned with pearls that complements her royal status. Holding a scepter in one hand, she symbolizes power and authority. The artist pays meticulous attention to detail, particularly evident in the intricate rendering of Catherine's pearl earring—a subtle touch that adds sophistication to the composition. This remarkable piece now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance. It serves as a testament to both Bellini's artistic prowess and Catherine Cornaro's legacy as an influential queen who played a crucial role in shaping Venetian history.
