Violante (Titian)

Violante is the name most commonly associated with a portrait painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Titian, likely painted around 1515-1518. The painting depicts a young woman, generally identified as the daughter of Titian, though some scholars propose other identities, such as a member of the Del Monte family. The work is known for its delicate portrayal of the subject and is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. While the identity of the sitter remains debated, the name "Violante" has become inextricably linked with the artwork over time.
