About the piece

Attributed to the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens, this 1614 portrait depicts the philosopher Giovanni Pico della Mirandola in elegant profile. The work showcases Rubens' characteristic mastery of color and light, contrasting the sitter’s vibrant red cap and blue mantle against a dark, atmospheric setting to create a piece with significant presence.
