작품 상세

Giacopo Palma Il Giovane was born Jacopo di Antonio Negretti in Venice. In the mid-1570s he returned to Venice, where his combination of naturalism and subdued Mannerism became popular. Palma’s work increasingly reflected his respect for the Venetian masters, especially Jacopo Tintoretto after his death in 1594, Palma became the leading painter in the city. This study of a philosopher is in a pose analogical to Plato’s in Raphael’s fresco The School of Athens.
