A gorgeous painting by Giovanni Battista Moroni

Director general of Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi of Florence, Arturo Galansino introduces the Portrait of Pietro Secco Suardo, an artwork realized by Giovanni Battista Moroni.

Famous for his naturalism and his portraits, this painting, where the influence of Tiziano is clearly visible, represents one of the most important Lombard paintings collected in the Uffizi.
The main character in this case is the descendant of one of the wealthiest and important families in Bergamo , portrayed in a severe domestic environment that evokes his roots and his attachement to them.
