Updated 2026-05-29
Renaissance Florence's most painted face: Simonetta Vespucci allegedly sat for Botticelli and Piero di Cosimo, though art historians still argue about which canvases actually caught her legendary looks. Dead at 23, she became the blueprint for Renaissance beauty.
Biography
About
Simonetta Vespucci, nicknamed la bella Simonetta, was an Italian noblewoman from Genoa, the wife of Marco Vespucci of Florence and the cousin-in-law of Amerigo Vespucci. She was known as the greatest beauty of her age in Italy, and was allegedly the model for many paintings by Sandro Botticelli, Piero di Cosimo, and other Florentine painters. Some art historians have taken issue with these attributions, which the Victorian critic John Ruskin has been blamed for promulgating.
