The National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne announced that it believes the subject of a mysterious Renaissance portrait it has owned since 1965 is Lucrezia Borgia, and that the painter is famed Renaissance artist Dosso Dossi (c1486-1542).
As a result of this astounding conclusion, the NGV’s painting could be the only surviving formal painted portrait of the famous Lucrezia. The discovery is attracting considerable international interest following extensive conservation and curatorial research work undertaken by NGV experts.
Dosso Dossi’s Lucrezia Borgia will be on public display from Wednesday 26 November at NGV International, St Kilda Road.
