Portret van Pietro Vettori c. 1597 - 1669

"Portret van Pietro Vettori" is an engraving by Cornelis Galle I, a Flemish artist who worked in the 17th century. This detailed portrait of Pietro Vettori, an Italian orator and philosopher, is framed by an elaborate oval border decorated with a mix of classical and floral motifs. The inscription below the portrait further highlights Vettori's achievements and the inscription above, "Orator, & Philosophus" underscores his status as a learned and influential figure. This engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the art of portraiture during the Baroque period.
