About the Item

We are grateful to Prof. Daniele Sanguineti for suggesting the attribution to Domenico Parodi (1672 - 1742). He dates the painting into the period between 1730 and 1740. Domenico Parodi, one of the best Italian portrait painters between the end of the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century; the author sets his art according to the French models, fully returning to the genre of the `` French '' portrait, inaugurated by Hyacinthe Rigaud at the beginning of the 18th century. Parodi acquired the French portraiture code by depicting the nobility with a celebratory impact, with poses and gestures of refined luxurious elegance, to which he contributed use of a pictorial palette with silvery tones. In our case an elegantly dressed gentleman is immortalized, with a rich dress according to the typical fashion of the time, standing in a relaxed pose. The ratio of scarlet and silvery-white colors emphasizes refinement and taste. His good-natured face with an intelligent look evokes only positive emotions. The artistic principles of classicism in this portrait are inseparable from the splendor of the Baroque art the 18th century.
