Portrait of a Woman, c. 1540. Creator: Corneille de Lyon (Netherlandish, 1500-10-1574)
Portrait of a Woman, c. 1540. Corneille de Lyon worked both for the French court and wealthy merchants. His distinctive northern style stood in contrast to the taste for Italian Renaissance painting (seen in the nearby portrait) and connected closely to portrait miniatures and manuscript painting. Recent conservation treatment has restored the smooth, enamel-like background and the meticulous rendering of detail

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a Woman, c. 1540" is a masterpiece created by the talented artist Corneille de Lyon. Known for his distinctive northern style, de Lyon's work showcased his exceptional skill in both portraiture and manuscript painting. In this particular piece, de Lyon beautifully captures the essence of the woman portrayed. Her delicate features are meticulously rendered with incredible attention to detail, highlighting her graceful charm and elegance. The artist's expertise is evident in every brushstroke as he brings forth an exquisite portrayal of this mysterious lady. What sets this artwork apart is its departure from the prevalent Italian Renaissance style that was popular at the time. De Lyon's unique approach reflects his Netherlandish roots and his connection to portrait miniatures and manuscript painting traditions. Thanks to recent conservation treatment, this print showcases not only de Lyon's remarkable talent but also reveals the original enamel-like background that had been obscured over time. This restoration allows us to appreciate the full beauty of this artwork as it was intended by its creator. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, "Portrait of a Woman" stands as a testament to Corneille de Lyon's artistic prowess and serves as a window into 16th-century France where he worked for both esteemed members of royalty and wealthy merchants alike.
