# Portrait of Cardinal Federico Cornaro [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [STROZZI, Bernardo]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on canvas ## Commentary Portrait of Cardinal Federico Cornaro c. 1640 Oil on canvas Museo del Settecento Veneziano, Ca' Rezzonico, Venice In addition to sacred works, Bernardo Strozzi painted some spirited portraits. With dense, soft brushwork, and rich colouring, he achieved a vitality that seemed to have been lost with Titian. His work also reflected the influence of Van Dyck, who had worked in Genoa for the local aristocracy. Cardinal Federico Cornaro was appointed patriarch of Venice in 1631 and remained in office until 1644 when he moved to the papal court in Rome. ## Related artworks - [A Personification of Fame]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Allegory of Arts]() - [Arachne]() - [Banquet at the House of Simon \(detail\)]() - [Banquet at the House of Simon \(detail\)]() - [Banquet at the House of Simon]() - [Berenice]() - [Christ and the Samaritan Woman]() - [David with the Head of Goliath]() - [David with the Head of Goliath]() - [Gamba Player]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
