"Minerva Dressing" (also known as "Minerva Dressing Herself") is a painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Lavinia Fontana, created in the late 16th century. As one of the few female artists of her time to achieve recognition, Fontana was known for her portraiture, religious themes, and mythological subjects. This particular work depicts the Roman goddess Minerva, known for her wisdom and association with the arts and warfare, in the intimate act of dressing.

The painting is significant for its portrayal of a classical deity in a private moment, a subject that reflects the humanist interests of the Renaissance in exploring the personal aspects of mythological figures. Fontana's attention to detail and her ability to convey texture and fabric are evident in Minerva's garments and armor. The work also showcases Fontana's skill in rendering the female form with grace and dignity, which was a departure from the more idealized representations by her male contemporaries.

"Minerva Dressing" is an example of Fontana's contribution to the Mannerist style, which is characterized by elongated figures, unusual perspectives, and a departure from the balanced compositions of the High Renaissance. The painting is also an important piece in the study of female artists of the period, as it exemplifies the challenges and achievements of women in the male-dominated art world of the 16th century.

Lavinia Fontana's "Minerva Dressing" is housed in a notable art collection, and it continues to be a subject of scholarly interest for its artistic and historical significance. The work is often discussed in the context of Fontana's oeuvre and the broader trends in European art during the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period.
