Isabella (1849), also known as Lorenzo and Isabella, is a painting by John Everett Millais, which was his first work in the Pre-Raphaelite style, created shortly after the formation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in the previous year. It was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1849, and is now in the collection of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.

Isabella is a stock character used in commedia dell'arte, in the class of innamorata (female lover). She is generally portrayed as headstrong, sensuous, and articulate. She is typically depicted as Pantalone's daughter and he often tries to control her life by arranging meetings with inappropriate overaged gentlemen suitors. Men constantly fall hopelessly in love with her. She is frequently the innamorata of the play. She is typically a prima donna. She is also known as an amore, as is her male co-star.

Most of the commedia dell'arte plays are about getting the lovers Flavio and Isabella together. Both are of wealthy upbringings and high class, generally of Tuscan descent. Both innamorati are more in love with the idea of love than each other, as well as with themselves, but, by the end of the play, are united either by being able to express their true feelings for one another or joining in marriage. Isabella is named in honor of the actress and poet Isabella Andreini who played the character with the commedia troupe I Gelosi.

Crater Isabella is the second largest impact crater on Venus. The feature is named in honor of the 15th Century queen of Spain, Isabella I of Castile. Located at 30 degrees south latitude, 204 degrees east longitude, the crater has two extensive flow-like structures extending to the south and to the southeast. The end of the southern flow partially surrounds a pre-existing circular volcanic shield. The southeastern flow shows a complex pattern of channels and flow lobes, and is overlain at its southeastern tip by deposits from a later diameter impact crater, Cohn. The extensive flows, unique to Venusian impact craters, are a continuing subject of study for a number of planetary scientists. It is thought that the flows may consist of ' impact melt,' rock melted by the intense heat released in the impact explosion. An alternate hypothesis invokes 'debris flows,' which may consist of clouds of hot gases and both melted and solid rock fragments that race across the landscape during the impact event. That type of emplacement process is similar to that which occurs in violent eruptions on Earth, such as the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines.

The Isabella was a ship that disappeared off the coast of Australia in 1824.

The Isabella was anchored off the bar at Port Macquarie, New South Wales when the pilot boarded the ship and ordered his crew to return at 2 pm to pick him up after crossing the bar. At 2 pm his crew returned but instead of taking the pilot on board, boarded the ship, seized the crew and headed out to sea with the ship. About four miles (6 km) off shore, the crew and pilot were cast adrift.

The Isabella was never heard from again and assumed to have foundered. The ship was owned by Richard Kelly, who had purchased it on favourable terms as compensation for the loss of his schooner, Black Jack, through the negligence of the pilot at Port Macquarie in 1823. Both Isabella and Black Jack had been on government service at the time of their loss.

Richard Kelly received compensation from Governor Darling some of land in the Parish of Scoone, Brisbane in 1833. This occurred despite a previous order that because Richard Kelly had been caught bribing a storekeeper in 1822, he was never to receive any indulgence in the power of the Crown...

Isabella was a British slave ship which brought the first 150 African slaves to the American port of Philadelphia in 1684. The majority of these slaves were purchased directly by Quaker settlers – who themselves had only arrived 3 years earlier to city – to be laborers. This would result in approximately 2,500 people of African descent living in the city by the year 1720.
