Portrait of Clemente IX

Giovan Battista Gaulli

Accademy Gallery of Saint Luca

 
DESCRIZIONE:

An important papal portrait which Gaulli, known as Baciccia, made for the Pope from Tuscany Clement IX Rospigliosi (1667-69), a stand out not so much for his brief stay as Pope, but as a playwright, contributing to the body of roman melodrama of the 1600s. The painting is one of many confirmations of the artist from Genoa's remarkable skill at portraits at court.
