Monsignor Giuliano della Rovere
about 1595 | Federico Barocci
Giuliano della Rovere (1559–1621), Abbot of the San Lorenzo in Campo Monastery, was the later legitimised son of Cardinal Giulio della Rovere and a cousin of the reigning Duke of Urbino, Francesco Maria II della Rovere. In this unsettling portrait of the subject’s soul which penetrates superficial social attitudes, Barocci links up with Lorenzo Lotto’s portrait art. The formal composition cleverly based on diagonals (edge of the table, arm, still life with books and hourglass) is overlaid with an artistically subtle veil of grey and black tones.
