The Bentivoglio Family is a 1497 unspecified by Lorenzo Costa, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum.
This painting shows a group of people, possibly a family, gathered around a man holding a piece of paper. They're all looking at him, and some seem to be singing or reading. The man in the center has long hair and is wearing a red hat and a red robe over a dark shirt. The people around him are dressed in dark clothing, and some have headbands or hats. The background is dark, which makes the people stand out. The painting has a lot of detail, especially in the faces and clothing. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and highlights the figures' emotions. You might want to look up more about the artist, Lorenzo Costa.
