A Woman Holding an Apple

Artist: Titian (Venetian, 1488/1490 - 1576)

Date: c. 1550

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Description

A striking young woman - with loose, untied hair and sleeves and a richly jeweled but informal gown - returns the viewer’s gaze. In her time, a viewer would have seen her as being in a state of semi undress. She cradles an apple in her hands, which in art often connotes female sexuality.

Despite the painting’s portrait like format, Titian probably did not depict a specific person here. He and other Venetian artists of the day painted many pictures representing beautiful young women, but it is often unclear whether such pictures are meant to be recognizable portraits of members of contemporary society or idealized images of anonymous beauties. Although the images may reflect Venetian courtesan culture of the period, there is no evidence that real courtesans had themselves portrayed in this way. Rather, such pictures may be interpreted as fanciful portrayals of female beauty, designed to appeal to the eyes of the painting’s owner.
