ResumoAbstract“Provide me with a painter whom we can really trust, and I shall willingly allow myself to be portrayed on paper, canvas, or panel.” Thus spoke one of Matteo Bandello's heroines to her lover, giving voice to a predicament with which the Renaissance reader would have immediately empathized. Where to find the painter who could be trusted to produce an acceptable image of oneself?
