Portrait of Barbara Luigia d’Adda, bride of Antonio Barbiano di Belgiojoso

This portrait   of a lady connected to one of the greatest families of Milan bears witness to   the international nature of the Trivulzio collection and the prestige of the   artists within it. The   painting is signed by the artist and the masterly paint application, passing   from fabrics to flesh tones with the finest of brushstrokes, confirms its   attribution. The silvery and blue tones are also significant as the artist's   chromatic signature, here in its mature phase.   The   woman is portrayed with the classic half-length setting and the painting   appears to be a real likeness, without being tempted to idealise the subject.
