Dipinto Ritratto dell'Imperatore Vitellio XVIII secolo

1700s

About the Item

Olio su tela. Aulo Vitellio Germanico Augusto è uno degli Undici Imperatori romani che furono ritratti a mezzo busto in una serie realizzata da Tiziano nel 1536-40 per Federico II, duca di Mantova. Passati prima alla casa reale inglese e giunti poi alla corte di Spagna, i dipinti furono tutti distrutti in un catastrofico incendio all'Alcazar reale di Madrid nel 1734 e ora sono conosciuti solo dalle copie realizzate da diversi incisori fiamminghi tra la fine del XVI e l'inizio del XVII secolo. Tra questi, ci è pervenuta l'incisione del ritratto di Vitellio realizzata Aegidius Sadeler (1570 -1629), rispetto alla quale la nostra copia presenta alcune piccole differenze, come era solito avvenire quando venivano copiate opere di altri grandi artisti. L'imperatore, connotato da naso prominente, labbra sottili, guance paffute e doppio mento, impugna il bastone del comando e veste l'armatura con sopra il mantello rosso. Il dipinto è stato restaurato e ritelato.

  • Portrait Of A Scottish Monarch Oil On Canvas 19th Century
    Located in Milan, IT
    Oil on canvas. Intense and high quality, the painting depicts a monarch of the royal house of Scotland. Around the portrait, in a painted oval frame, there are some writings: the name Rober(t) appears at the top left, the title Rex at the bottom left and the abbreviation Scot, which stands for Scotorum, on the right; the writing at the top right is not identifiable, but it seems to be an acronym. The man portrayed wears a hat and a coat adorned with ermine fur, which is considered the noblest fur, reserved for royalty. He wears a golden pendant around his neck, which depicts two leaves with the fruit of the thistle, which, in heraldry, symbolizes Scotland. The writing and the pendant therefore refer to a Robert of Scotland, probably from the dynasty that reigned in the fourteenth century. The portrait was however executed in the romantic nineteenth-century period, probably using some ancient engravings...
