'''La Donna Velata''' (also known as ''La Velata'' or ''The Woman with the Veil'') is a celebrated Renaissance portrait painted by the Italian master Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, commonly known as Raphael. Created circa 1514-1515, this exquisite artwork is renowned for its striking realism and the delicate portrayal of the subject's beauty. The painting depicts a young woman, whose identity has been the subject of much speculation, with some scholars suggesting she may be Margherita Luti, Raphael's Roman mistress and the model for several of his works, including the famous ''La Fornarina''.

The subject is portrayed with a serene expression, her gaze meeting the viewer's with a mixture of directness and modesty. She is adorned in a sumptuous garment and a transparent gauze veil, from which the painting derives its name. The use of chiaroscuro, the skillful play of light and shadow, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure and the luxurious textures of her clothing. Raphael's mastery in rendering the softness of her skin and the intricate details of her attire exemplifies the peak of his portraiture skills.

''La Donna Velata'' is often lauded for its psychological depth and the lifelike presence of the sitter. Raphael's technique, particularly his use of sfumato, creates a delicate transition between colors and tones, contributing to the painting's enigmatic and captivating quality. The work is a testament to Raphael's ability to convey noble grace and the idealized beauty characteristic of the High Renaissance.

The painting is part of the collection at the Palatine Gallery in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy. As a masterpiece of Raphael's mature period, ''La Donna Velata'' continues to be a subject of admiration and study, reflecting the artist's profound influence on the course of Western art. Its enduring legacy is evident in its influence on subsequent generations of artists and its status as a quintessential example of Renaissance portraiture.
