Context:

As the earliest surviving Italian double portrait in a domestic setting, this painting is doubly groundbreaking and innovative. The two figures have been plausibly identified as Lorenzo di Ranieri Scolari (1407-1478) and Angiola di Bernardo Sapiti, who were married in 1436. The painting is usually dated around 1440 and may have commemorated their wedding or the birth of a child. The careful attention to the woman's dress and jewels, and the topographical depiction of the buildings and gardens in the background, seem almost to document the Scolari family possessions.
