Antonio Broccardo by Giorgione

Antonio Broccardo by Giorgione

Portraits of Giorgione are a kind of synthesis of an ideal and living concrete person. One of the most characteristic is his remarkable portrait of Antonio Broccardo. In the picture, the individual portraits of a noble youth are clearly and accurately conveyed, but they are clearly relaxed, subordinated to the image of the perfect person.

The free movement of the young man’s hand, the energy felt in the body half-hidden under the loose-wide attire, the noble beauty of the pale-sour face, the head inclined on the strong and slender neck, the beauty of the contour of the elastically outlined mouth, the pensive dreaminess of the gaze staring into the distance and away from the viewer’s eyes this creates a full, noble power of the image of a person grasped by a deep, clear-quiet mind.
