# Portrait of Federico Zuccari [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GALIZIA, Fede]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 56 x 43 cm ## Commentary Formerly the painting was believed to be a self-portrait by Federico Zuccari. Evoking the work of Moroni, and visible in each of her earlier portraits, the painter's sustained attention to pictorial truth is revealed by many elements. These include the virtuoso, realistic description of the heavy gold chains on the bust of the elderly painter, and the painstaking treatment of the profiles and the inscriptions on the medals. \(The medals depict St Carlo Borromeo and Philip II.\) ## Related artworks - [Cherries in a Silver Compote]() - [Judith with the Head of Holofernes]() - [Maiolica Basket of Fruit]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Physician]() - [Portrait of Paolo Morigia \(detail\)]() - [Portrait of Paolo Morigia]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life]() - [White Ceramic Bowl with Peaches and Red and Blue Plums]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
