@googleartsculture: Zoom into the intricate details of this Renaissance portrait. 🔍 From the dazzling gold embroidery to the weighted silk of her gown, the piercing gaze of the subject to the shine of the pearl necklace, this painting is full of incredible details. The subject was likely the mother of the artist, who came from a prominent Cremona family. The painting was created by Sofonisba Anguissola, a late Renaissance painter best known for her portraiture, and one of the first women artists to establish an international reputation, receiving praise from artists such as Michelangelo.
