About Artwork: (possibly 1544/1545) "This painting’s inscription can be found in the letter resting on the table. It tells us that this man is Alessandro Alberti, and this portrait was painted in Venice when he was 30.
A member of the entourage of the personal representative of the pope in Venice, Alberti came from the same Florentine noble family as the celebrated architect and humanist Leon Battista Alberti and corresponded with Pietro Aretino, a prominent author, poet, and playwright. Here, the richly costumed Alberti is portrayed in a confident stance. The courtly aspect of the image is further emphasized by the subsidiary figure of the page, who is occupied in lacing Alberti’s breeches to his doublet.
In a 1548 letter to Alberti, Aretino mentioned that Alberti had his portrait painted by Gian Paolo Pace, who worked as a portraitist in Padua. This painting may be that portrait. The painting’s inscription likely once preserved the artist’s name and the work’s date, but that portion of the inscription has been effaced." - (National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.)
