Portrait d'une femme à la fenêtre avec un homme

ca. 1440
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 602
Cet important double portrait est l’un des plus anciens qui nous soient parvenus de Florence, en Italie. Il est par ailleurs l’un des premiers qui soit campé dans un cadre domestique. Il a probablement été peint pour commémorer les fiançailles ou le mariage des deux personnages. On peut lire, brodé sur le revers du poignet gauche de la jeune femme, le mot lealt[a], qui veut dire loyauté. La tenue et les somptueux bijoux sont aussi ceux d’une mariée. Le rendu détaillé de la robe rouge et des bijoux, tout comme les bâtiments et les jardins à l’arrière-plan, servent peut-être à rendre compte du patrimoine familial.
