Beatified Lorenzo Giustiniani
Gentile Bellinica. 1470 - ca. 1470
Bagatti Valsecchi Museum
Milano, Italy
As evidenced by the head covering, clothes and dark background, this devotional painting of the Beatified Lorenzo Giustiniani, who died in 1456, derives from a devotional painting of after 1465, the same source as that of the portrait in the Carrara gallery in Bergamo. Dating to around 1470, the painting still is in its original frame (the pinnacle was added later). Probably purchased by the brothers Fausto and Giuseppe at the end of the 19th century, the painting is still displayed--as are all other objects in the museum--in its original place, thus contributing to the authentic "time capsule" ambiance.
