EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the noble and regal presence of Francesco Maria Imperiale, Doge of the Republic of Genoa, painted by the renowned Baroque artist Giovanni Maria Delle Piane, also known as Il Mulinaretto, in 1698. The portrait is a testament to the artist's mastery of the Baroque style, with its rich colors, intricate details, and dramatic use of light and shadow. Francesco Maria Imperiale, born in 1653, served as the Doge of Genoa from 1695 to 1699. The Doge was the highest political office in the Republic of Genoa, a powerful maritime city-state in the Mediterranean Sea. The portrait shows Imperiale in his official regalia, wearing the traditional Doge's hat, the red cap of St. George, and the golden collar of the Order of St. George. The background is adorned with the symbols of Genoa, including the city's coat of arms and the column of the Victory. The portrait is a prized possession of the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, a historic palace that has served as the seat of the Doge's power since the 14th century. The painting is a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Genoa, a city that has played a significant role in the history of Italy and Europe. Giovanni Maria Delle Piane was a prominent painter of the Genoese School, known for his portraits and religious paintings. He was a student of the famous painter Giovanni Domenico Cappellino and was influenced by the Carracci and the Bolognese School. This portrait of Francesco Maria Imperiale is a prime example of his artistic skill and the artistic traditions of Genoa during the Baroque period.
