"Portrait of Catharina Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Gentile Bellini, created around 1500. This artwork is a significant example of Venetian portraiture from the late 15th century and is notable for its depiction of a historical figure who played a prominent role in the politics and culture of the period. Catharina Cornaro (1454–1510) was a Venetian noblewoman who became the Queen of Cyprus through her marriage to King James II of Cyprus. Her reign lasted from 1474 to 1489, after which she was forced to abdicate and cede control of Cyprus to the Republic of Venice.

The portrait is executed in oil on canvas and is known for its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the queen's regal attire and jewelry, which reflects her status and wealth. Bellini's portrayal of Cornaro is imbued with a sense of dignity and poise, characteristic of his portraiture style. The work is also an important record of Venetian fashion and courtly life at the turn of the 16th century.

Gentile Bellini, a member of the renowned Bellini family of painters, was highly regarded for his portraiture and his contributions to the Venetian school of painting. His travels to the East, particularly his time spent in Constantinople, influenced his artistic style and brought a level of cultural exchange that is reflected in his body of work.

The "Portrait of Catharina Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus" is not only a testament to Bellini's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a historical document that offers insight into the complex political and social dynamics of the Mediterranean world during the Renaissance. The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important work within Gentile Bellini's oeuvre.
