Antique Venetian Renaissance Cardinal Ludovico Trevisan 1401-1465 Oil on Canvas

About the Item

Ludovico Trevisan (November 1401 Venice, Italy - 22nd of March 1465) was an Italian Catholic prelate, who was the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, Patriarch of Aquileia and Captain General of the Church. Cardinal Trevisan was a rich, powerful, and cultured figure who proved his military prowess in the Battle of Anghiari on June 29, 1440, between Milan and the Italian League, where he lead the papal troupes. He became cardinal in the same year. He was famous for his fortune, luxury and splendor and considered to be the richest man in the world in his time. He left his wealth to the Church, his works and his nephews. This painting is magnificent and extremely rare. The cardinal is painted in form of a Roman Empire bust with deep red royal colors. The Latin language inscription translated to English as “ Cardinal Ludovico of Rome,-the gracious and powerful leader for its people” The painting is oil on canvas and has been attached to the wooden board to preserve it due to the canvas age.
