EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a Lady" was created around 1460 by the renowned Flemish artist Rogier Van der Weyden. The painting is now housed in the Mellon Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The subject of this masterpiece is an elegant and mysterious woman, her identity lost to time. With her head delicately tilted and eyes gazing into the distance, she exudes an air of poise and contemplation. Her headdress, intricately adorned with jewels and pearls, adds a touch of regal splendor to her appearance. Van der Weyden's skilled use of color brings life to every brushstroke on this canvas. Soft hues highlight the lady's fair complexion while warm tones accentuate her richly textured clothing. The background provides a subtle contrast with its muted earthy tones, allowing our focus to remain on the enigmatic figure before us. As we admire this artwork from the mid-15th century, we are transported back in time to witness both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. This print serves as a testament to Van der Weyden's mastery within the Netherlandish school during that period. Published in 1944 as part of "Masterpieces of Painting" edited by Huntington Cairns and John Walker, this image has been cherished for decades as it continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. Its inclusion in prestigious collections such as Andrew W Mellon's speaks volumes about its enduring beauty and cultural importance. (Note
