Fotoreproductie van een schilderij, voorstellende een portret van Girolamo Savonarola before 1890

This anonymous photographic reproduction, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a profile portrait of the influential Italian Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola. Created before 1890, the image captures a solemn and contemplative figure, likely based on an earlier painting. Savonarola, known for his fiery sermons and role in Florentine politics during the late 15th century, is depicted in a simple monk's habit, with a distinctive, strong profile and piercing eyes. This reproduction, though small in scale (137mm x 90mm), offers a glimpse into the historical figure's powerful presence.
