About the piece
Painted around 1696 by the Italian master Fra Galgario, this portrait depicts Bartolomeo Manganoni in an era of opulence. The sitter is adorned in a vibrant red coat heavy with gold embroidery, complemented by delicate lace ruffles and a classic dark wig, set against a dramatic, dark background that emphasizes the intricate textures of his attire.
