Description : Ritratto maschile

Oil on canvas. The School In North-Italy. The portrait of a gentleman here proposed to refer in ways to the works of Antonio Cifrondi (1656 -1730), the painter whose life and activities had to take place between Clusone, Bergamo and the bergamo valleys. Her work, which is spaced between the sacred and the profane, and that includes also several portraits, is distinguished for a style characterized by speed of execution, and the lack of preparatory drawings, the forcing of the poses of the figures, always immediate, sometimes twisted, in some cases, even coarse. between 1712 and the '15 is placed at the beginning of his particular painting, "reality", and in those years, or just before, should also belong to the first known portraits created by him. The proposed work actually invokes these characteristics: the man's portrait is captured in a pose of movement, not stiff nor conventional, certainly less elegant than one would expect; even the facial expression seems to cultured, almost of surprise. The canvas has some small tears and drops of color, that requires restoration.
