"Violante (La Bella Gatta)" is a celebrated Renaissance portrait painting attributed to the Venetian master Tiziano Vecellio, known as Titian. Painted circa 1515, this artwork is often cited as an exemplar of Titian's early portraiture style, showcasing his burgeoning skill in capturing the human form with a blend of naturalism and idealization. The painting derives its name from the presumed identity of the sitter, Violante, who is thought to have been the daughter of Palma Vecchio, a contemporary of Titian, and the inclusion of a small cat in the composition, which has led to the affectionate nickname "La Bella Gatta" or "The Beautiful Cat Lady."

The portrait features a young woman, gazing directly at the viewer, adorned in a sumptuous dress with a low-cut neckline, emphasizing her youthful beauty and sensuality. The sitter's identity as Violante is not definitively established, but the association persists in art historical discourse. The presence of the cat, often interpreted as a symbol of domesticity or sensuality, adds a layer of complexity to the portrait, inviting various interpretations of the subject's character and the painting's intended meaning.

"Violante (La Bella Gatta)" is characterized by Titian's rich color palette, particularly the deep reds and glowing flesh tones that would become hallmarks of his mature work. The delicate rendering of the sitter's features and the intricate details of her attire demonstrate Titian's mastery of texture and form. The painting's provenance and attribution have been subjects of scholarly debate, with some experts suggesting the involvement of Titian's workshop or even the hand of Palma Vecchio himself.

Today, "Violante (La Bella Gatta)" is held in high esteem as a significant work from Titian's early period, offering insight into the development of his artistic style and the cultural milieu of 16th-century Venice. The painting is a valuable piece of the art historical canon, contributing to the understanding of portraiture conventions and the representation of women in the Renaissance era.
