1601, Peter Paul Rubens, Isabella d'Este -- Kunsthistorisches Museum (Vienna)
From the museum label: While in Mantua, Rubens copied two portraits that Titian had painted 70 years earlier of Isabella d'Este (1474-1539), who was known for her patronage and passion for collecting. One of them, of which the original has been preserved (Inv. No. GG 83), depicts Isabella as a young woman; the other, of which the original has been lost, depicts her dressed in a red velvet garment when she was about 50. The present painting is Rubens's copy, in which he emphasised the brilliant appearance and well-endowed femininity of the Renaissance princess in the style of the Baroque.
