About Artwork: (1526) "This is the earliest surviving example of a life-size, full-length portrait on canvas or panel painted in Italy. We are not certain of the sitter’s identity, but he may be Gerolamo II Avogadro of Brescia (who died in 1534). He was the father of Conte Faustino Avogadro, who is shown in a portrait by Moretto’s pupil, Moroni, which is also in the National Gallery’s collection. Here, he may once have been looking towards a companion portrait. The man’s costume is sober but luxurious. He wears a Spanish-style black brocade cape, slashed mauve sleeves and breeches, and a red felted-wool cap that was a speciality of Brescia. His enamelled gold cap badge represents Saint Christopher carrying the infant Christ. His hand rests on a very early example of a rapier. Just behind and above its hilt is part of the hilt of a dagger, presumably one held in the left hand for parrying when fencing." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
