The Knight Of Malta Oil After Titian
"THE KNIGHT OF MALTA" ITALIAN VENENTIAN MASTERPIECE OIL ON CANVAS BY FOLLOWER OF TITIAN (TIZIANO VECELLIO)1488-1576 IN GILT FLORENTINE FRAME 36 X 42.5 INCHES.
A stunning example of art portraiture and realism at its best,is achieved in this quality painting,depicting " The Knight of Malta ".
Originally Attributed to artist Giorgione Da Cento.
THE KNIGHT OF MALTA]
AS PER LITRATURE UFFIZI MUSEUM FLORENCE.
The "Knight of Malta," in the Uffizi, is a more mature work, and reveals Giorgione to us as a portrait painter of remarkable power. The conception is dignified, the expression resolute, yet tempered by that look of abstract thought which the painter reads into the faces of his sitters. The hair parted in the middle, and brought down low at the sides of the forehead, was peculiarly affected by the Venetian gentlemen of the day, and this style seems to have particularly pleased Giorgione, who introduces it in many other pictures besides portraits. The oval of the face, which is strongly lighted, is also characteristic. This work shows no direct connection with Bellini's portraiture, but far more with that which we are accustomed to associate with the names of Titian and Palma. It dates probably from the early part of the sixteenth century, at a time when Giorgione was breaking with the older tradition which had strictly limited portraiture to the representation of the head only, or at most to the bust. The hand is here introduced, though Giorgione feels still compelled to account for its presence by introducing a rosary of large beads. In later years, as we shall see, the expressiveness of the human hand will be recognised but Giorgione already feels its significance in portraiture, and there is not one of his portraits which does not show this.
LATER RE-ATTRIBUTED to the famous works of one of the greatest Venetian Masters Titian or (Tiziano Vecellio)
The original portrait was painted around 1510 and is on display in the Uffizi Gallery at Campagnolas in Florence.
This later version having been painted in 1836 by a respected and very artistically talented member of the Gooch family from East Anglia,which was painted during a six year period when the artist lived in Florence.
This quality portrait is the only professional example known to exist after Titians original masterpiece back in 1510,of "The Knight of Malta".
Rubens and other well known renaissance artists often reproduced famous works,depicting well known masters with indistinguishable accuracy.
The beautiful gilt florentine frame is all original to the portrait and is in good condition,having been hand made and finished in real gold.
The bright gold finish on the frame contrasts well with the darker areas of the portrait,to bring out the subject matter at its best.
We have included a picture of artist Titian as seen in image no.5
