Portrait of Giovanni Secco Suardo and his servant is a 1720 oil by Fra Galgario, a Rococo painting work, held at Accademia Carrara.
The painting shows two men standing together, looking at the viewer. The man on the left wears a red robe with gold trim and a white shirt underneath. The man on the right has long hair and a mustache, and he wears a brown and gold jacket. The two men seem to be from different social classes, as suggested by their clothing. The man on the left appears to be wealthy, while the man on the right looks like a servant. This painting reminds me of the work of artist Fra Galgario.
Fra’ Galgario (4 March 1655 – December 1743), born Giuseppe Vittore Ghislandi, and also called Fra’ Vittore del Galgario, was an Italian painter, mainly active in Bergamo as a portraitist during the Rococo or late-Baroque period.
