Venetian School of the early 17th centuryPortrait of a knight in armor Inscription only partially legible in the upper part ''MAR...DIT...VICO'' Oil on canvas (81 x 71 cm - Framed 93 x 83) Complete painting details (click HERE) A fascinating gentleman in his armor, immortalized in an authoritative and proud attitude, is the subject of our portrait, of good quality and made by an author belonging to the Northern Italian, Venetian culture of the early seventeenth century. Although his role as a knight is highlighted, the pose is regal, perfectly portrayed in profile, flanked by a feathered helmet resting on a table, while wearing a rich ceremonial armor. Both in composition and in style of representation, the work fits into the long tradition of military portraiture typical of the 16th century, not far from the results achieved by Titian, with an elegant and manneristic mixture of style, between its Venetian nature, timid Tuscan influences and Nordic suggestions. Numerous stylistic clues bring this painting closer to the figurative culture of Verona in the years between the 16th and 17th centuries and in particular to the figure of Felice Brusasorci (Verona, 1539 – Verona, 1605), son of Domenico who had been active in Verona as well as in Mantua and Vicenza.
