About the piece
Painted around 1625 by Peter Paul Rubens, this masterful portrait captures Marchese Ambrogio Spinola in full military regalia. Rubens' virtuosic handling of light is evident in the reflective surfaces of the etched steel armor, contrasted with the intricate texture of the lace ruff and the bold red silk sash.
