Ferrara and Veneto school 
Ferrara and Veneto school |
This room is situated on the First Floor |
| In this room, which has several paintings from the Ferrara, Milan and Venice Schools (l6th century), two works by Girolamo Savoldo from Brescia (the most titianesque painter in the Borghese Collection) stand out. The extraordinary spirituality of the Portrait of a Boy, painted in 1530, recalls to memory St. John the Baptist. The painting entitled Tobiolo and the Angel, reveals the particular Savoldo’s care for the technique of light and shade. |
 |
The clothes of both the characters recalì to memory
the chromatic studies of the Venetian masters Giorgione and Titian, or the effect of light
which characterizes Lorenzo Lotto’s style. The original colours of the painting came
to light after the latest repair which removed the thick coat of paint of the I 9th
century. Another important painting which belongs to the Venetian painting school (1 6th century) ìs The Last Dinner (1547) by Jacopo Bassano and long ascribed to Titian
