EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Portrait de chevalier posant appuye sur le casque de son armure" showcases the presumed portrait of Count Faustino Avogadro, famously known as the Knight with a Limp. In this painting by Giovan Battista Moroni, created around 1555 and housed in the National Gallery in London, we see the count posing confidently while leaning on his helmet. The count's nickname stems from his noticeable foot injury, which is alleviated by a knee brace seen in the image. This muscular weakness resulted from a previous injury and has given him a distinctive gait. Strewn across the ground are pieces of armor that have been discarded for this intimate portrayal. Moroni's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the count's physical appearance but also conveying his noble stature and social standing. The knight's beard adds an air of wisdom and experience to his visage. This artwork represents a significant piece from Italy during the Renaissance period (16th century). Its vibrant colors bring life to both man and armor alike, showcasing Moroni's mastery of coloration techniques. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable print through Fine Art Finder without any commercial use intended. It invites us to delve into history and appreciate artistry at its finest – an exquisite depiction of nobility intertwined with vulnerability.
