The ''Portrait of Daniele Barbaro'' is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Paolo Veronese (from circa 1565-1567), belonging to the collection of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. There is a portrait by Veronese in the Pitti Palace, Florence, which has been described as Barbaro dressed as a Venetian aristocrat, but this identification is not certain. Barbaro was also portrayed by Titian. ==Background== Daniele Barbaro was a member of the Venetian aristocracy (see Barbaro family). He was an important prelate, humanist and architectural theorist, who commissioned a number of works from Veronese. Veronese had been involved directly with Barbaro and his brother Marcantonio Barbaro, decorating the Villa Barbaro, Maser, which Palladio designed. Here Barbaro is portrayed sitting in the ''audience'' posture (reserved normally for Popes and cardinals) in recognition of his status as cardinal and Patriarch of Aquileia. The book standing up is the ''La Practica della Perspettiva'', Barbaro's treatise on artistic perspective.〔 (''Il Rituale…'' ) article by Maurizio Nicosia〕 The other volume on the table is Barbaro's "Commentary" on Vitruvius' ''De architectura'',〔(Rijksmuseum ) Accessed December 2008 (when this source referred to the painting being in London on loan from the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam).〕 which has illustrations by Andrea Palladio. Barbaro's Commentary on Vitruvius was published in Italian in 1556, but the portrait may be linked to the publication of a second edition in Latin in the 1560s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Portrait of Daniele Barbaro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
