Warrior with Equerry
1518 · Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence
portraitA sense of calm and expressiveness as well as light effects are outstanding in this canvas, with the beautiful helmet and pieces of armour on foreground. This painting was for long identified erroneously as the portrait of Gattamelata. It clearly shows the influence of Giorgione, particularly in the general tone of calm melancholy expressed in the face of the warrior, a subject which ought instead to convey strength and virility.
