A Lady in her Bath (Diane de Poitiers?)

Ca. 1566. Oil on oak panel.
Room C

The painting reproduces an original by Clouet (Washington, National Gallery of Art). Shrouded in an atmosphere that is partly indebted to Leonardo’s sfumato (the softening of contours), the lady shown is possibly Diane de Poitiers, the mistress of Henry II of France. The visual narrative is enriched by various symbols, with the boy, the infant and the fruit referring to fertility, and the carnation to love.
