Elisabetta Bianchini Vizzani

Lazzaro Casario Italian

Not on view

This portrait was once part of the funerary monument of Elisabetta Bianchini Vizzani (ca. 1520–1589) in the Vizzani Chapel at San Giovanni in Monte in Bologna, where it was set up as a pendant to a similar portrait of her son, the historian Pompeo Vizzani (dated 1593), now in the Museo Civico at Bologna. The somber essences of the Counter Reformantion are visible in this realistic image of a widow.
