Alessandro Vittoria
ca. 1580
Paolo Veronese captures the intense, almost challenging gaze of Alessandro Vittoria, one of Venice's most celebrated sculptors, surrounded by the very creations that made him famous. Dressed in somber black, Vittoria proudly displays a small, muscular figure—likely a plaster model for one of his grand bronze statues—while a larger sculpted head rests on the table beside him. It's a brilliant piece of professional branding from the late Renaissance, showing the artist not just as a craftsman, but as a master of human form who brings stone and metal to life.
