Portret van Lelio Blancaccio Possibly 1630 - 1646

Paulus Pontius, a prominent Dutch engraver, created this portrait of Lelio Blancaccio in the mid-17th century. The print depicts Blancaccio in full armor, holding a staff, with a helmet prominently displayed behind him. The detailed rendering of the armor, the solemn expression, and the inscription highlighting his military and political titles, emphasize Blancaccio's status as a high-ranking military figure. This engraving is an example of the artist's skill in translating visual information into a powerful portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
