Painting may be portrait of Lucrezia Borgia

A portrait in the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia, has recently been identified as having been painted by Dosso Dossi. Originally known as Portrait of a Youth, scholars now believe it may depict Lucrezia Borgia, the famous -- or infamous -- daughter of Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander VI). This may be the only official portrait of Lucrezia, who, having long been cast as a wicked woman, is now considered by most scholars of the subject to have been a victim of her unscrupulous father.
