EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the stunning Selvaggia Sassetti, a prominent figure in 15th-century Florence. Painted by the renowned Italian artist Davide Ghirlandaio, this tempera on wood masterpiece captures Selvaggia's timeless beauty and elegance. Selvaggia, born in 1470 as the daughter of esteemed banker Francesco Sassetti, is believed to have posed for this painting around the time of her marriage to Simone d Amerigo Carnesecchi in 1488. The intricate details of her attire and accessories reflect both her social status and the fashion trends of the Italian Renaissance. Her classical hairstyle frames a face that exudes grace and poise. Adorned with exquisite jewels and pearls, she radiates sophistication befitting a lady of high standing. A coral necklace with an intricately designed pendant adds a touch of opulence to her ensemble. The artist skillfully captures every delicate feature, from Selvaggia's expressive eyes to her lacing-slashing gown adorned with beads. This portrait exemplifies Ghirlandaio's mastery in capturing not only physical likeness but also inner essence. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this artwork stands as a testament to Italy's rich artistic heritage during the Quattrocento period. It invites viewers into a world where beauty transcends time and leaves an indelible mark on history.
