This superb panel is a fine example of 15th-century Florentine portraiture. Artists of the time followed classical dictates: body proportions were idealized while faces left devoid of expression were expected to convey character. This is evident both in the lines that create the slender neck and shape of the body and in the expressionless and perfect features. In this half-length portrait, the sitter appears in strict profile, with her arms bent and her hands clasped together. In the background, a selection of personal belongings appears within a simple architectural frame. The cartellino to the right bears part of an epigram by Martial and the date of her death in Roman numerals. The model has been identified as Giovanna Tornabuoni, based on a medallion by Niccolò Fiorentino showing her likeness and her name. She is also portrayed full length in the Visitation fresco painted by Ghirlandaio for the Tornabuoni chapel in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
這幅精美絕倫的作品是15世紀(jì)佛羅倫薩肖像畫(huà)的典范藕筋。當(dāng)時(shí)的藝術(shù)家遵循古典主義原則：身體比例被理想化，而缺乏表情的面孔要傳達(dá)出性格。這在塑造纖細(xì)的脖頸妆绞，身體的輪廓以及毫無(wú)表情而完美的面部特征上都很明顯。在這幅半身像中枫攀，被畫(huà)對(duì)象以嚴(yán)格的側(cè)面出現(xiàn)括饶，雙臂彎曲，雙手緊握来涨。背景中图焰，一系列個(gè)人物品出現(xiàn)在一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的結(jié)構(gòu)框架內(nèi)。右邊的標(biāo)簽有一部分是羅馬詩(shī)人馬蒂亞斯寫(xiě)的挽歌和用羅馬數(shù)字寫(xiě)的她的死亡日期蹦掐。根據(jù)尼科洛-菲奧倫蒂諾（Niccolò Fiorentino）制作的一枚徽章技羔，這名模特已被確認(rèn)是喬瓦娜-托納波尼。在吉爾蘭達(dá)約（Ghirlandaio）為佛羅倫薩圣母瑪利亞教堂的托納波尼小教堂繪制的壁畫(huà)中也出現(xiàn)過(guò)她的全身像卧抗。
Domenico Ghirlandaio was an Italian Renaissance painter from Florence. Ghirlandaio was the leader of a large and efficient workshop. Among the many apprentices that passed through his workshop, the most famous was Michelangelo. Ghirlandaio's particular talent was his ability to depict contemporary life and portraits of contemporary people within the context of religious narratives. This brought him great popularity and many large commissions.
多米尼克-吉爾蘭達(dá)約是意大利文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期的畫(huà)家藤滥，來(lái)自佛羅倫薩。吉爾蘭達(dá)約是一個(gè)龐大而高效的工作室領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者社裆，在他眾多學(xué)徒中拙绊，最著名的是米開(kāi)朗基羅。吉爾蘭達(dá)約的特殊才能是他能夠在宗教敘事的背景下描繪當(dāng)代生活和當(dāng)代人的肖像泳秀。這為他帶來(lái)了巨大的人氣和許多大型的委托項(xiàng)目标沪。
