Portrait of Alessandro Farnese

Oil on panel (parquetted). 127 x 97 cm.
Inscribed: anno dom. 1554 / aetatis 23.

This painting is a copy after Antonio Moro's portrait of Alessandro Farnese (1545-1592). The painting in the Galleria Nazionale in Parma, dated 1557, shows the prince at the age of 12. Both the coat of arms and the inscription "anno dom. 1554 / aetatis 23" are a later addition. The picture probably dates to the 16th century.

Provenance

In a Belgian private collection for several generations.
