This version is the progenitor of another series of copies (coll. Martius; naples, capodimonte museum, colorno, castle). Giulia gonzaga (1513-1566), famous for her beauty, was the daughter of luigi, count of sabbioneta and wife of vespasiano colonna, count of fondi. Loved by ippolito de' medici, it was sung by ariosto (orlando furioso 46. 7)" [1]. Object Type: painting. Date: from 1555 until 1599.
