A charming gentleman in his armour, immortalised in an authoritative and proud attitude, is the subject of our portrait, of good quality and made by an author belonging to the Northern Italian, Venetian culture of the early seventeenth century.

Although his role as a knight is emphasized, his pose is regal, portrayed perfectly in profile, flanked by a plumed helmet resting on a table, while wearing rich ceremonial armor.

Both in its composition and in its style of representation, the work fits into the long tradition of military portraiture typical of the 16th century, not far from the results achieved by Titian, with an elegant and manneristic mix of style, between his Venetian nature, timid Tuscan influences and Nordic suggestions.

Numerous stylistic clues bring this painting closer to the figurative culture of Verona between the 500th and 600th centuries and in particular to the figure of Felice Brusasorci (Verona, 1539 – Verona, 1605), son of Domenico who had been active in Verona as well as in Mantua and Vicenza.
