VALENTIN SCHERTLE (1809-85)
Portrait of Doña Isabel de Requesens y Enríquez de Cardona-Anglesola
c.1829-1875Lithograph | 67.8 x 48.5 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 852085
A lithograph after a painting in the Staatliche Museen, Berlin (inv. no.231). Lettered with production details, attribution of the painting to Raphael and identification of the sitter as Joanna d'Aragon. Stamped with the publisher's blind stamp at lower centre below image (not in Lugt).
The picture is a copy of the 'Portrait of Doña Isabel de Requesens y Enríquez de Cardona-Anglesola' currently housed in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. no.612).
The authorship of the original portrait - which was commission from Raphael seemingly by Cardinal Bibbiena around 1518 - is an ongoing matter of debate. According to Vasari, Raphael executed the sitter's head only. Modern scholars are divided, with some ascribing it entirely to Raphael, others to Giulio Romano and some others regarding the painting as the result of cooperation between the two. Henry/Joannides (2012) have recently catalogued it as by Giulio, perhaps with an intervention by Raphael. For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.
