Portrait of a young woman in an embroidered dress,
oil on canvas, 98 x 83 cm, framed
We are grateful to Filippo Maria Ferro for suggesting the attribution of the present painting.
The richness and luxury of the present portrait is exemplified by the depiction of expensively embroidered cloth which the young woman is wearing. Initially a pupil of Daniele Crespi, Cittadini moved to Bologna before the age of twenty to study with Guido Reni, whose influence is clearly evident in such early works as the Martyrdom of Saint Stephen, the Flagellation and the Christ crowned with Thorns in the church of Santo Stefano, Bologna. He travelled to Rome in the mid-1640s and came into contact with the French and Flemish artists living there. This international influence gave rise to an original artistic vocabulary aimed at the naturalistic depiction of reality in a number of still lifes, landscapes and portraits.
