Bust of a woman, possibly Ippolita Maria Sforza

This cast was taken from a marble original of about 1473 attributed to the sculptor Francesco Laurana (c. 1430-c. 1502). Previously in the collection of the Berlin Staatliche Museum, the Laurana bust was damaged by a fire in the Friedrichshain flak tower, where it was stored for protection during the Second World War, along with thousands of other artworks. The head of the original marble remains in Berlin.Francesco Laurana was born in Vrana, Dalmatia in the republic of Venice (now Croatia) in about 1420. He was one of a group of Dalmatian artists who worked abroad at the foreign courts. Only rediscovered in the nineteenth-century, attempts to trace Laurana
