If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will know to expect duplicates of paintings you may have already seen repeated from time to time. When I do postings on women from the 1500s with their books or furs or hats or pets, or those who do not fit 21st century anorexic figure ideals, I often reuse portraits initially shown in a specific painter's posting. A redundancy or sort of an electronic cross-referencing. And, of course, I love these women; they make me feel so at home.

1522 Bernardino Licinio (1498-1565) Portrait of a Woman

Bernardino Licinio (c. 1489–1565) was an Italian High Renaissance painter of Venice & Lombardy. Bernardino Licinio painted both secular portraits & religious works. He was born in Bergamo in the town of Lombardy. Some speculate that he may have trained in the studio of Giovanni Bellini (1430 -1516). As his work changed over time, his paintings indicate that Licinio stayed close to the the most recent artistic developments of the Venetian school of painting. Bernardino Licinio was part of an artistic family, going on to train his nephew Giulio Licino (1527–1584). Bernardino’s brother, Arrigo (Giulio’s father) was also a painter, as was another brother, Fabio.
