EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Alvise Contarini" is a stunning example of Italian Renaissance art. Painted by Jacometto Veneziano, or attributed to him, this oil on wood masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The subject of the painting is believed to be Alvise Contarini, a prominent figure from the late 15th century. The artist skillfully captures his likeness with intricate details and vibrant colors. Alvise's profile stands out against a serene Venetian landscape backdrop, showcasing both his distinguished features and the beauty of his surroundings. A fascinating element lies hidden within this artwork - on the reverse side, there is an image of a roebuck tethered to a golden disk inscribed with the Greek word for "forever". This symbolizes faithful love since ancient times and adds another layer of meaning to the portrait. Interestingly, this print comes as part of a pair alongside another artwork presumed to depict Alvise's wife, who was identified as a nun. Together they create an intriguing narrative about their lives during that period. As you admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, allow yourself to be transported back in time to Renaissance Italy. Let your imagination wander through its rich history and appreciate the remarkable talent that brought such masterpieces into existence.
