# Portrait of a Gentleman [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GHISLANDI, Giuseppe]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on canvas,127 x 98 cm ## Commentary Portrait of a Gentleman c. 1730 Oil on canvas,127 x 98 cm Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan The subject is believed to be a nobleman, a member of the Tassi family of Bergamo. In this late painting, Ghislandi rejected the refined colour schemes of his youthful portraits. His palette is now concentrated on golds, whites, browns and intense, velvety blacks. His optical inventiveness is fresh, and in the folds of a scarf, in the braid of a cuff or lapel, he succeeded in creating enchanted Rococo notes. ## Related artworks - [Portrait of a Boy]() - [Portrait of a Gentleman]() - [Portrait of a Young Man]() - [Portrait of a Youth]() - [Portrait of an Order of St Stephen's Knight]() - [Portrait of Count Galeazzo Secco Suardo \(1681-1733\)]() - [Portrait of Count Giovanni Battista Vailetti]() - [Portrait of Francesco Maria Bruntino]() - [Portrait of Giovanni Secco Suardo and his Servant]() - [Self-Portrait]() - [Young Painter in His Studio]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
