# Portrait of Procurator Jacopo Soranzo [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TINTORETTO, Jacopo]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 75 x 60 cm ## Commentary Portrait of Procurator Jacopo Soranzo c. 1550 Oil on canvas, 75 x 60 cm Castello Sforzesco, Milan Gravity, dignity, and integrity radiate from this portrait, which is very restrained in both colour and setting. Old Soranzo's white hair matches the fur trimming of his robe of office in both tone and artistic technique: marks of age and the insignia of power are closely connected in the gerontocracy of the Venetians. As the dominating element in the composition, the taut fur trimming continues the line of the strong-willed furrow between the brows. This feature makes the impressively upright bearing of the old procurator visible to the viewer even from some distance away. ## Related artworks - [A Philosopher \(detail\)]() - [A Philosopher]() - [Allegory of Faith]() - [Allegory of Fortune \(Felicità\)]() - [Allegory of Generosity]() - [Allegory of Goodness]() - [Allegory of Happiness]() - [Allegory of the Scuola della Carità]() - [Allegory of the Scuola della Misericordia]() - [Allegory of the Scuola di San Giovanni Evangelista]() - [Allegory of the Scuola di San Marco]() - [Allegory of the Scuola di San Teodoro]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
