Sofonisba Anguissola - Portrait of Bianca Ponzoni Anguissola

Giorgio Vasari wrote that Sofonisba’s "seem fully alive and lack nothing but words". The fine portrait of her mother demonstrates this. Aware of Leonardo’s studies on representing the motions of the soul, the young painter makes the body language expressive by involving the emotional sphere, and psychological research also appears intense in this portrait of her mother, a peaceful, satisfied lady sure of her wealth and status.
