Dosso Dossi Paintings

Like so many historical re-creationists who are interested in Renaissance costuming I spend a lot of time looking at Renaissance portraits and paintings. These days, it is not very often that I come across a painting that I have never seen before, but I am so excited when I do! Today I cam across the Portrait of a Roman Woman (below) by Dosso Dossi.

My brief research suggests that Dosso Dossi was born in a village in Mantua in about 1490. His father worked for the Dukes of Ferrara, and by 1512 Dosso Dossi (real name Giovanni di Niccolò de Luteri) was in Mantua. He became a court painter to Duke Ercole II d'Este and Duke Alfonso I. He often worked with his brother Battista Dossi, who was trained in Raphael's workshop. Dosso Dossi died in 1542.
