Raphael Marriage of the Virgin,
Florence, Italy, 1504
According to the Golden Legend (a 13th century collection of stories about saints’ lives), Joseph competed against other suitors for Mary’s hand in marriage. The high priest was to give the Virgin to whichever suitor presented to him a rod that had miraculously bloomed. Raphael depicted Joseph with his flowering rod and about to place Mary’s wedding ring on her extended hand. Other virgins congregate at the left, and the unsuccessful suitors stand on the right.

20. Portrait of Isabella d'Este
Titian, Portrait of Isabella d'Este,
Although she is shown as a young woman, Isabella was 62 by the time the work was painted. Titian had originally painted a more aged Isabella, but she was so displeased with the picture that she made him repaint it in an idealized form, so that she looked forty years younger.
Her face and hands were given the most attention, while her garment fades into the background.
