"Portrait of a Young Woman", one of the largest 15th century female portraits by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli, is an idealised portrait of Simonetta Vespucci – a young noblewoman who was married at the age of sixteen – in the role of a nymph. There is great beauty in the painting ranging from the ornate hair clip to the elaborate hairstyle. This painting ranks high in the long line of successful portraits by Sandro Botticelli. She was considered the most beautiful woman in Florence and became the – supposedly platonic – ladylove of Giuliano de’ Medici. The medallion she wore around her neck is a copy in reverse of "Nero's Seal", a famous antique carnelian representing Apollo and Marsyas, which belonged to Lorenzo de' Medici. The plain background suggests a focus on the subject herself. |

Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, most commonly known as Sandro Botticelli, was one of the greatest Italian painters of the Florentine Renaissance. His The Birth of Venus and Primavera are often said to epitomize for modern viewers the spirit of the Renaissance.
During his lifetime he was one of the most acclaimed painters in Italy, being summoned to take part in the decoration of the Sistine Chapel in Rome and earning the patronage of the leading families of Florence, including the Medici.
