Raphael: La Fornarina JAD Ingres: Raphael and the Fornarina, 1814, Fogg Art Museum, Harvard Cindy Sherman: Untitled #205

Joan Miro: La Fornarina (after Raphael)--'a black velvet mountain bears at its summit an enormous bust with breasts, arms, shoulders in a single mass, a mouth like a red boat, a perfect sphere from which escapes a fish-shaped eye, and all topped by a chocolate coiffure, hair and feather admixed. A fabulous form cut out against a night-blue ground, it transfixes ' --Guy Weelen, Miro, Harry N. Abrams, 2984

Exhibit Two: Cindy Sherman as Courtesan

Carlo Pederetti (Raphael, Giunti, 1989, p. 150) says the painting probably portrays the courtesan Beatrice the Farrrese, a favorite of Lorenzo di Piero di'Medici and not Raphael's mistress, despite her armband. Also, it is now attributed to Guilio Romano, not Raphael.

Ingres painted at least five versions of this idea. Here is another one
