Description: | This portrait by an artist in the circle of the Italian painter Carlo Maratti, or Maratta (1625-1713), shows an unknown young man dressed in black and wearing a lace jabot. He holds up a ring in his right hand, which suggests the portrait was commissioned in connection with the sitter's impending marriage. Maratti was a hugely successful and influential painter. Although he painted many religious pictures, he is best known as a portraitist. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Maratti, Carlo (Italian painter, 1625-1713) Æ Circle of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8568... | Go to resource |
