About the piece
Painted during Anthony van Dyck's stay in Italy around 1622, this portrait depicts a distinguished Genoese gentleman. The work showcases the artist's renowned ability to render complex textures—from the stiff, translucent lace of the millstone ruff to the heavy, dark fabrics of the sitter's garment—all set against a dignified architectural background that emphasizes the sitter's status.
