Portret van Taddeo Gaddi 1568

This anonymous engraving from 1568 depicts Taddeo Gaddi, a prominent Florentine painter of the 14th century, in a portrait format. The artist chose to portray Gaddi in profile, a common practice in Renaissance portraiture. The image is enclosed in a decorative frame with cherubic figures holding tools of art, emphasizing Gaddi's artistic identity. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the appreciation of Italian artists during the Renaissance period.
