This portrait, titled "Portrait of Vittoria della Rovere as St. Helena" showcases the exquisite talent of Flemish artist Justus Sustermans. Painted in 1669, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 66x50 cm and is currently housed at Palazzo Corsini, Gallerie Nazionali Barberini Corsini in Rome, Italy. The subject of the painting is Vittoria della Rovere, who assumes the role of St. Helena - the mother of Emperor Constantine and a significant figure in Christian history. Dressed elegantly with a delicate lace collar adorning her neck, Vittoria exudes grace and sophistication. Sustermans skillfully captures every intricate detail with his brushstrokes - from the fine lines on her face to the elaborate embroidery on her dress.
