<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PepperAnna, post: 3095448, member: 17332&quot;]Hi Bronwen, Thank you so much for the translation! Google translate is notoriously bad. I read the links you provided and found the actual document on Google Books. It seems that Dominico Campanari owned the painting from 1848~1860 and wrote several treatises on it, the first in 1850. Pistrucci published an engraving of the painting, which is likely what Ronca used as his inspiration. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1155687/vittoria-colonna-print-ploszczynski-n/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1155687/vittoria-colonna-print-ploszczynski-n/" rel="nofollow">http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1155687/vittoria-colonna-print-ploszczynski-n/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Campanari was convinced that the painting he owned was of Vittoria Colonna, but later this was disputed. There are other similar paintings which include a child, leading to the notion that it was Maria Salviati. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/460696/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/460696/" rel="nofollow">https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/460696/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Currently the painting in question resides at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (Kress Collection) and is titled Portrait of an Elderly Lady.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.kressfoundation.org/kress-collection/artwork/e3f255e55487c8b26709b281f9f03dd522b645954ec26ec16010335ad71bf769" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.kressfoundation.org/kress-collection/artwork/e3f255e55487c8b26709b281f9f03dd522b645954ec26ec16010335ad71bf769" rel="nofollow">https://www.kressfoundation.org/kress-collection/artwork/e3f255e55487c8b26709b281f9f03dd522b645954ec26ec16010335ad71bf769</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Wall hanging is an interesting idea that I had not thought of. But given the additional information you found, I think you are correct. Thank you!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
