"Portrait of Countess Gonzaga di Novellara" is a 17th-century painting attributed to the Italian artists Benedetto Gennari (1633–1715) and his brother Cesare Gennari (1637–1688). The Gennari brothers were prominent painters of the Baroque period, known for their portraits and religious subjects, and were part of an artistic family that included their uncle, the renowned Bolognese painter Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri).

The painting depicts the Countess Gonzaga di Novellara, an aristocratic woman whose identity is linked to the noble Gonzaga family, a significant dynasty that played a crucial role in the cultural and political landscape of Italy, particularly in the regions of Mantua and Novellara. The Countess is portrayed in a three-quarter length format, which was a common practice for formal portraiture of the time, allowing for a detailed representation of her attire and bearing.

In the portrait, the Countess is adorned in the fashion typical of the Italian aristocracy of the 17th century, with luxurious fabrics and possibly wearing jewelry that signifies her status. Her pose and expression are poised and dignified, reflecting the conventions of portraiture that sought to convey the subject's social standing and character.

The collaboration between Benedetto and Cesare Gennari in the creation of this work is indicative of the familial workshop practices of the period, where multiple family members would often contribute to a single piece. This was particularly true in the case of the Gennari family, who continued the artistic legacy of Guercino after his death.

The "Portrait of Countess Gonzaga di Novellara" is significant not only as an example of the Gennari brothers' skill in portraiture but also as a cultural artifact that offers insights into the fashion, societal norms, and the role of aristocratic patronage in the arts during the Baroque era in Italy.

The current location of the painting, its provenance, and its historical impact are subjects of interest to art historians and contribute to the understanding of the Gennari brothers' oeuvre and the broader context of 17th-century Italian art.
