A prolific portraitist in Rome, where he relocated around the 1570s, he worked in the wake of Scipione Pulzone, and is remembered by the biographer Giovanni Baglione as having portraied \u201calmost all the Roman ladies, and a considerable number of the gentlemen and titled persons in Rome\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consistently with the Lombard origin and Venetian influences of the painter suggested by Emilio Negro, the painting is characterized by a limited palette and the absence of secondary elements such as draperies or columns, allowing the viewer\u2019s attention to focus on the sitter\u2019s physiognomy and character. The work is nevertheless ennobled by certain details, rendered with remarkable accuracy, such as the white lace collar framing the sitter\u2019s face against his dark attire, and the refined belt with its elegant embossed metal buckle, depicted with great mastery. Among the works cited for comparison by the scholar are the \u201cPortrait of Maria de\u2019 Medici\u201d (Rome, Palazzo Lancellotti) and the fresco depicting \u201cDomenico Fontana presents the project for the new library to Pope Sixtus V\u201d (Rome, Biblioteca Vaticana, Salone Sistino), which includes several portraits sharing with our painting the same \u201ckeen physiognomic and psychological accuracy\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6165,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio-types":[45],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/6166"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6166"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-types?post=6166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
