"Portrait of Antea" is a celebrated painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino, created around 1524–1527. The painting is renowned for its exquisite depiction of a young woman, traditionally identified as Antea, a courtesan in the circle of the artist, though the true identity of the subject remains a topic of scholarly debate. The portrait is currently housed in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy.

The work is a testament to Parmigianino's mastery of the Mannerist style, characterized by elongated proportions and an elegant, sophisticated aura. The subject stands almost life-size, her gaze engaging the viewer with a mix of directness and allure. She is adorned in luxurious garments and accessories, including a lavish dress, an embroidered sleeve, and a fur-trimmed cloak, which highlight her status and the painter's attention to texture and detail.

"Portrait of Antea" is particularly noted for its psychological depth and the nuanced expression of the sitter, which suggests an inner life and personality. The painting's composition, with the figure's graceful pose and the subtle play of light and shadow, enhances its enigmatic quality. Parmigianino's use of color and his delicate rendering of the subject's features contribute to the portrait's captivating beauty.

The artwork has been the subject of extensive art historical research, with discussions focusing on its iconography, the identity of the sitter, and its place within Parmigianino's oeuvre and the broader context of 16th-century Italian portraiture. "Portrait of Antea" remains one of Parmigianino's most admired works, reflecting the elegance and innovation of the Mannerist movement and offering a glimpse into the sophistication of the Italian Renaissance courtly life.
