La Bella is a portrait of an unknown woman by Titian, painted around 1536 and now in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The work of a mature artist, it shows the woman with Renaissance ideal proportions and a natural expressive force[1] The composition is clear.[1]
The painting may be a portrait of Isabella d'Este or her daughter Eleonora Gonzaga. Titian likely used the same model for the Venus of Urbino.[2]
