EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the regal beauty of Caterina Cornaro, the last queen of Cyprus. Painted by renowned artist Titian (Tiziano Vecellio), this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 98x74 cm and is housed in the prestigious Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy. Caterina Cornaro's story is as fascinating as her image suggests. Reigning from August 1474 to February 1489, she held power alongside her husband James II until his untimely death. To ensure control over Cyprus after his passing, Catherine was declared a "Daughter of Saint Mark" allowing the Republic of Venice to claim authority over the island. In this half-length portrait, we see Caterina exuding grace and elegance befitting her royal status. Her gaze is both confident and enigmatic, hinting at the complexities that defined her life. The intricate details captured by Titian's brushwork highlight every delicate feature - from her flowing hair adorned with jewels to her richly embroidered attire. As we admire this painting, we are transported back in time to witness a powerful woman who navigated treacherous political waters while maintaining an air of dignity and poise. This print serves as a reminder of Caterina Cornaro's significant role in history and celebrates not only her beauty but also her strength and resilience as Queen of Cyprus.
