fig. 1 Portrait of Lord Ottone Ordelaffi (right) with his wife, Lady Edelweiss Hennenberg di Ordelaffi. He gestures to his firstborn heir, Orchidee Ordelaffi, depicted here with the then in vogue halo-like glow symbolizing hope for the next generation's continued prosperity. The Lady Orchidee is estimated to be one year old at the time this portrait was painted. It is the only example of a portrait portraying all three members of the family; Lord Ottone died within two years of its completion.
