"La Fornarina" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raffaello Sanzio, commonly known as Raphael. The artwork, believed to have been created between 1518 and 1519, is celebrated for its exquisite portrayal of a young woman, traditionally identified as Margherita Luti, Raphael's Roman mistress. The painting's title, "La Fornarina," translates to "the baker's daughter," which is a reference to the profession of Margherita's father.

The painting is a half-length portrait that showcases the subject's beauty and sensuality. "La Fornarina" features the young woman semi-nude, with a diaphanous veil and a sumptuous sleeve of her dress slipping off her shoulder, revealing a delicate and idealized figure. She is adorned with a jeweled armband inscribed with the artist's name, "Raphael Urbinas," which not only suggests the artist's affection for the sitter but also serves as a form of signature. The subject's gaze towards the viewer and the intimate portrayal have led to much speculation about the nature of her relationship with Raphael.

The painting is currently housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica in Rome, Italy. "La Fornarina" has been the subject of extensive art historical research and has captivated audiences and scholars alike with its technical mastery, rich color palette, and the enigmatic story behind its creation. The work is considered one of Raphael's most important and evocative portraits, reflecting his ability to convey psychological depth and human warmth, hallmarks of his mature period.

Over the centuries, "La Fornarina" has influenced numerous artists and has been referenced in various cultural contexts, further cementing its status as a masterpiece of Renaissance portraiture. Its allure continues to inspire discussions and interpretations, making it a pivotal work in understanding Raphael's artistic legacy and the broader context of Renaissance art.
