Portrait of a Gentleman with Milan in the background
1830s
Oil on canvas, 29.5 x 23.4 inch
This portrait, impressively characterized by a refined pictorial quality and a suggestive ambient, presents a style allowing an attribution to a very talented artist, but still not enough known and enhanced, as the milanese Pietro Narducci. […]
Also in this painting Narducci used the typology of the outdoor portrait with a modern solution updated-it can be dated to the 1830s-to the new Romantic sensibility.
