Portret van kunstenaar Francesco Bassano II 1752 - 1762

This portrait of the Italian painter Francesco Bassano II, created by Carlo Gregori between 1752 and 1762, is a fine example of portraiture. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The painting depicts Bassano II in a three-quarter view, with his right hand holding a brush and a piece of paper. This detail, along with the artist's serious expression, suggests his dedication to his craft. The realistic depiction of the artist and the use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism in the portrait.
