Agostino Barbarigo, Gesandter (gestorben 1571)
2. Hälfte 16. Jahrhundert | Jacopo Robusti, gen. Tintoretto
The display of the objects in the Heldenrüstkammer (»Heroes’ Armoury«) was based on the organizational principle devised by Archduke Ferdinand II, which corresponded to the social standing of the »heroes«, ranging from emperors and nobles to military commanders. In addition to arms and armour, Ferdinand commissioned several portrait series of various sizes and biographical descriptions of the represented. From the section »Princes and Counts« comes the depiction of Agostino Barbarigo (1516–1571), captain-general of the Venetian fleet at the Battle of Lepanto 1571, which is based on a portrait by Tintoretto. Archduke Ferdinand II possessed 3 more of Barbarigo´s portraits: full-length (Ruhelust palace), triangle size (Heroes´armoury) and a miniature version (»Kleinbildserie«).
