Lanfranco Beccari 1593

This oil painting by Venetian artist Palma il Giovane, also known as Jacopo Palma the Younger, depicts the figure of Lanfranco Beccari. Executed in 1593, this work is a striking example of the artist's refined style, showcasing a masterful use of light and shadow. The figure is depicted in the traditional attire of a bishop, with a mitre, crosier, and richly embroidered robes. The detailed rendering of the fabrics and the subtle expression on Beccari's face convey a sense of both power and humility, typical of Venetian religious art of the period. This painting is housed in the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, known as I Gesuiti, in Venice, Italy.
