Portrait of a Young Nobleman, Fra Galgario

Ghislandi, the greatest lombard portraitist of his age, was a lay brother of the order of the minims. Fra galgario was his nickname, referring to the monastery of galgario in the city of bergamo with which he was associated. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait.
