Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Italian portraits of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in various media, specifically Florence and Venice, are remarkable. The portrait in its various forms can be traced to the beginning of time and probably predates the earliest written languages. Throughout human history, portraiture is an almost constant form of representation and thus is central to humanity, a record of the human condition.
