La Bella Principessa di Leonardo da Vinci (in Italian)
Martin Kemp
Synopsis "La Bella Principessa di Leonardo da Vinci (in Italian)"
La Bella Principessa (English: "The Beautiful Princess"), also known as Portrait of Bianca Sforza, Young Girl in Profile in Renaissance Dress and Portrait of a Young Fiancée, is a portrait in coloured chalks and ink, on vellum, of a young lady in fashionable costume and hairstyle of a Milanese of the 1490s.[1] Sold for just under $22,000 at auction on January 30, 1998 at Christie's Auction in New York City, the portrait was catalogued as early 19th-century German work. In 2007, Peter Silverman, purchased the portrait from a gallery on East 73rd Street, owned by Kate Ganz. Peter Silverman believed that the portrait was possibly from an older period, potentially dating back to the Renaissance period, and some experts have since attributed it to Leonardo da Vinci. In 2010 one of those experts, Martin Kemp, made it the subject of his book co-authored with Pascal Cotte, La Bella Principessa: The Story of the New Masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.[2] This is now revised in Kemp and Cotte’s La Bella Principessa di Leonardo da Vinci. Ritratto di Bianca Sforza, Florence, 2012.
