Opis:
This picture may record a lost portrait by Titian of the daughter of the Turkish Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent. Giorgio Vasari, a sixteenth-century artist and biographer, said Titian was asked to paint portraits of Suleiman’s favourite wife, and her daughter Cameria.
The spiked wheel, used to identify St Catherine of Alexandria, transforms the sultan’s daughter into a saint. This may have seemed appropriate because at the time Alexandria was part of the Ottoman Empire
