Portrait of a Gentleman with his Helmet on a Column Shaft
Artist: Giovanni Battista Moroni (Italian, 1520/4 - 1579)
Original Dimensions: 73 1/4" x 39 3/8"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (About 1555-6) "With one hand on his helmet, the other on his rapier, this unidentified man looks directly at us. He stands in a partially ruined architectural setting, beside a large broken column on which his helmet rests. A column is an attribute of Fortitude and can also suggest the endurance of ancient values or a family lineage. Moroni may be implying that the sitter shares these virtues. The very limited colour palette of blue, grey and black, with repeated small details of rusty orange and red, creates a striking visual effect and draws our attention to the sitter’s face and hands. We think that this and Moroni’s A Knight with his Jousting Helmet, also in the National Gallery, are likely to have been painted around the same time, due to the similar cut of the clothes and the men’s beards." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
