From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Portrait of Cardinal Borghese is a 1550 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a man in heavy robes and a tall hat, sitting in a chair. His hands hold a piece of paper, and he wears a belt with a small bag. The background looks dark and plain, focusing all attention on him. The way light and shadow play on his face and clothes makes everything pop. His outfit looks fancy but worn, like he’s been sitting there awhile. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark like this.
