PAN438 - This refined 17th-century painting depicts Emanuele Filiberto of Carignano, executed by the French painter Charles Dauphin, an artist active in European courts in the 17th century. The portrait presents the nobleman in a half-length view, with a proud and slightly turned gaze, bathed in soft light that enhances his aristocratic features. The clothing is typical of the era, with dark armor and a precious lace jabot, a symbol of rank and prestige.
The pictorial surface, warm and patinated by time, conveys an intimate and solemn atmosphere, while the dark background helps to isolate the figure, making it the absolute protagonist. The gilded frame, richly carved with Baroque motifs and dating from the same period, is particularly striking, further embellishing the work and giving it a significant scenic presence.
A piece of notable historical and decorative charm, ideal for collectors or reception areas.
17th century.
