''La Bella'' is a portrait of an unknown woman by Titian, painted around 1536 and now in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The work of a mature artist, it shows the woman with Renaissance ideal proportions and a natural expressive force. The composition is clear.〔 ''Los maestros de la pintura occidental'', Taschen, 2005, page 176, ISBN 3-8228-4744-5〕 ''La Bella'' is often discussed as alternative to Titian's ''Portrait of Isabella d'Este'' in Vienna, because the order was a cajoling rejuvenated portrait by the more than 60 years old art patron. Eye colour, hair colour, eye brows and sex appeal would even homogenize all portraits of Isabella d'Este.〔Leandro Ozzola, ''Isabella d'Este e Tiziano'', in ''Bollettino d'arte'', 1931, p. 491-494 Download: http://www.bollettinodarte.beniculturali.it/opencms/multimedia/BollettinoArteIt/documents/1407155929929_06_-_Ozzola_491.pdf〕 Titian likely used the same model for the ''Venus of Urbino''.〔Corrado Cagli: ''L'opera completa di Tiziano'', Rizzoli Milano 1969, no. 177 - La Bella〕 Both pictures are documented in letters〔Ciatti, Marco/ Navarro, Fausta/ Riitano, Patrizia: ''Titian's La Bella - Woman in a Blue Dress''.Edifir Firenze 2011, pp. 41-48, ISBN 978-88-7970-523-3 (Original letters in Italian and English)〕 by Francesco Maria I della Rovere, Duke of Urbino, who was the husband of Isabella's daughter Eleonora Gonzaga. The ''Venus of Urbino'' was painted for the marriage of their son,〔Goffen, Rona: ''Sex, Space and History in Titian's Venus of Urbino'', in ''Titian's Venus of Urbino'', ed. by Goffen, Rona, Cambridge 1997, pp. 63-90〕 so there are similarities and the environment of the same familly. Symbol language: ''La Bella'' points with her hand to a zibellino, which is associated with the Venetian mature noble ladies and again, Isabella d'Este was one of the first ladies to wear.〔 Malaguzzi, Silvia: ''Schmuck und Juwelen in der Kunst''.
