Portrait of Count Fortunato Martinengo Cesaresco
Italian High Renaissance Painter, 1498-1554
Italian painter. Together with Romanino and Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo, he was one of the most distinguished painters of Brescia of the 16th century. Influenced by both Lombard verism and contemporary Venetian painters, Moretto created an individual style in which realism and Venetian light and colour were perfectly balanced. He was personally involved in the local movement of Roman Catholic reform, and this is reflected in his direct, solemn and often moving depictions of religious subjects. 1540-42
Medium Oil on canvas
Dimensions Width: 94.4 cm (37.2 in). Height: 114 cm (44.9 in).
