Maestro Veneto

"Portrait of a Gentleman" Venetian Master in the style of Titian Oil on Canvas 19th century period in the style of the Venetian Renaissance. Beautiful antique lacquered box frame with gilt finishes. Canvas dimensions: 60 x 75 cm, frame 83 x 98 cm It is well known that one of the key themes of the Renaissance is man, and no longer God, who is placed at the center of the universe. He is the architect of his life and destiny. It is no coincidence that the portrait was born as an autonomous genre in this new cultural climate, often celebrating the portrayed character. This portrait of a man is the work of a skilled artist from the 19th century with a strong humanistic culture who, reviving the Renaissance message, refers to Titian's pictorial style. The painting enhances the light on the surface of the clothes, on the face and on the hand holding the book, leaving the entire background dark, a characteristic of the Venetian figurative culture of the 16th century. Nothing distracts us from the effigy, no superfluous detail, no architecture or landscape that hosts it, as is customary in Renaissance portraiture, but only the human figure between darkness and light. It is a work of great impact with a splendid patina of time and a perfectly appropriate frame that enhances it. On the wall it is remarkably important and particularly suitable for display in a private or professional studio. Excellent condition.
