It examines Gallerani's navigation of regional networks of power well beyond her time at court. Exploring inter‐related constructions of femininity and masculinity, moreover, the article critically examines visual representation and relations between sex, power and dominance. Crucially, 'The Girl as Mistress in Renaissance Italy' both reveals and interrogates the sexual violence and coercion on plain display (though long ignored by scholars) in this most familiar and canonical of Italian Renaissance paintings. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Gender & History is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
