Antique Painting Portrait Of A Man In Armor Oil On Canvas XVII Century
Oil on canvas. Genoese school of the early 18th century.
The man, whose thick wig suggests he belongs to the nobility or the upper middle class, wears burnished metal armor, beneath which a lace cravat peeks out from the neckline; the breastplate bears several symbols of his family’s coat of arms.
The portrait echoes the styles and conventions popular in Genoa in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, based on the French models of Rigaud.
The painting shows some color fading.
Still on its original canvas, it was previously mounted on a wooden stretcher from the early 20th century.
It is presented in an 18th-century frame.
