Portrait of Bartolomeo Bonghi, Giovanni Battista Moroni

Through the open window is a tower that was one of the city of bergamo’s most identifiable landmarks. Moroni was admired throughout northern italy for his ability to capture his sitters "from life," or "from nature," in the words of the venetian artist titian. Works such as this were doubtless studied by the young caravaggio. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: between circa 1560 and circa 1563.
