Luisa Deti (d. 1557) 1604

This marble bust, created by Ippolito Buzio in 1604, depicts Luisa Deti, who died in 1557. The sculpture, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, showcases Buzio's skill in rendering realistic detail, particularly in the drapery and facial features. Luisa's contemplative expression and the subtle folds of her garment contribute to the bust's timeless elegance. The work exemplifies the Renaissance style, where classical influences merged with a new appreciation for realism.
