Italian school; 17th century.
"Portrait of a gentleman.
Oil on canvas. Re-retouched.
It presents restorations, polychrome losses and a perforation in the right corner.
Measurements: 95 x 75 cm.
In this portrait the author offers us the view of a character who is distinguished by his elegant clothes, wearing a ruff, a cape, puffed sleeves, a waistcoat and an ornamented belt. The artist conceived the portrait through a long bust and against a neutral, dark background, which makes the figure's presence stand out due to his brightly lit face. In fact, the carefully studied lighting, influenced by Tenebrism, is the main expressive resource used by the painter. It is a focused, directed, artificial light that enters the composition from the front and falls directly on the main area of the image, the sitter's face, creating great clarity on the sitter's face and clothing, modelling his facial features and anatomical volumes with great naturalism, but certainly idealised, as the soft, rounded forms predominate. The gesture that the main character adopts with his body is remarkable, as he seems to turn around in a completely spontaneous manner. This feature brings the viewer into close contact with him, as the sitter seems to be responding to an appeal from the observer. In short, it is a very intelligent device used by the artist to establish a close relationship between his work and the viewer.
During the 17th century, as in the rest of Europe, portraiture became the genre that gained most prominence due to the excellence of Italian painting, as a consequence of the new social structures that were established in the Western world during this century, embodying the ultimate expression of the transformation in the taste and mentality of the new clientele that emerged among the nobility and the wealthy gentry, who would take the reins of history in this period. While official circles gave precedence to other artistic genres, such as history painting, and the incipient collectors encouraged the profusion of genre paintings, portraiture was in great demand for paintings intended for the more private sphere, as a reflection of the value of the individual in the new society. This genre embodies the permanent presence of the image of its protagonists, to be enjoyed in the privacy of a studio, in the everyday warmth of a family cabinet or presiding over the main rooms of the house.
