Reproduction of Raffaello's "La Velata" / "The Lady with the Veil" from 1514 Painting

With this reproduction I tried to evoke the beauty of the Raphael's painting "The lady with a veil". For the composition, I did not use a complete painting, but only one part of it. I did not recreated the 100% accurate face on this portrait, because at the time I had a very poor photo print of the original. Also, at the time the painting was created, there was no Internet and we had no easy way to find good photographic prints of the original artworks from any famous artist. That's why I made this painting looking up to a photo print on an Italian chocolate pralines that you could bought in the stores at the time. Yeah I know!, it sounds silly :). However, I think that I have managed to recreate this portrait atmoshepere to some extent or at least the part of it, but also to add one percentage of my own individuality, if I can say so modestly, looking up at this Renaissance painting giant. Originally this is a painting by Raffaello Sanzio from around 1514–1515. Tradition identifies the subject with "la Fornarina", the woman whom the painter loved in his last years and whose face reappeared in both his paintings (e.g. in the Sistine Madonna) and those of his followers. However, the woman, has never been decisively identified. She seems to represent Raphael's ideal of beauty at this time. The painting shows greater attention to colour and to the rendering of skin and clothes in respect to previous female portraits. The regular oval of the young woman's face stands out against the dark background and her eyes hold an intense and penetrating look. The silk of her sleeves contrasts with her ivory-like skin, and is closely associated with the thin pleating of the dress, held up by a corset with golden embroidery. As in the portrait of Castiglione, the figure radiates a sense of great dignity and restraint. But greys and light-blues dominated the portrait of Castiglione: here the warm tonalities of white and gold take over.
