Cet impressionnant portrait repr\u00e9sente un gentilhomme en buste, vu de \u00be et regardant vers le spectateur. Portant un large chapeau et un manteau noir au col en fourrure, cet homme est probablement un marchant au vu de sa luxueuse tenue. Arborant une barbe fournie et des cheveux jusqu\u2019aux \u00e9paules, cet homme se pr\u00e9sente ici selon la mode italienne des deux premi\u00e8res d\u00e9cennies du XVIe si\u00e8cle.<\/span>
Les tons ocres qui dominent la composition mettent en valeur le teint ros\u00e9 du visage du sujet ainsi que ses yeux bleus \u00e9nigmatiques. Le regard intense du personnage et sa posture immobile mais sereine sont accentu\u00e9s par un coup de pinceaux doux, nuanc\u00e9 et ma\u00eetris\u00e9 ; ce qui donne \u00e0 ce portrait un aspect fascinant et intriguant.<\/span>
V\u00e9ritable plaque tournante, carrefour commercial entre l\u2019Orient et l\u2019Occident : Venise est, au d\u00e9but du XVIe si\u00e8cle, \u00e0 son apog\u00e9e culturel. Pourtant, les guerres et les \u00e9pid\u00e9mies de peste ancrent dans les esprits la trace sombre d\u2019une vie \u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re et fragile. Sensibles \u00e0 ces id\u00e9es, les peintres vont jouer avec l\u2019ombre et la lumi\u00e8re dans leurs compositions, pour ainsi nous pr\u00e9senter des oeuvres plus po\u00e9tiques, nuanc\u00e9es et plus techniques. Ce jeu de clair-obscur devient une v\u00e9ritable tradition picturale, notamment v\u00e9nitienne, et dont notre peintre est le digne repr\u00e9sentant.<\/span>
Jacopo Palma, de son vrai nom Jacomo Nigretti de Lavalle, nait dans une modeste famille de bergers \u00e0 Serina (Bergame, Lombardie) vers 1480. Peu de choses sont connues sur le d\u00e9but de sa vie et sur sa formation : il est cit\u00e9 \u00e0 Venise en 1510 o\u00f9 il a sans doute \u00e9t\u00e9 apprenti. Il commence sa carri\u00e8re dans le Quattrocento v\u00e9nitien finissant et en tire quelques principes : les sch\u00e9mas de composition, les th\u00e8mes iconographiques et l\u2019ordonnance des grandes compositions religieuses. Il apprend \u00e9galement beaucoup des grands ma\u00eetres v\u00e9nitiens de son \u00e9poque comme Vittore Carpaccio, Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione ou encore Titien qu\u2019il fr\u00e9quente. Palma se retrouve rapidement le peintre phare de Venise et \u00e0 continuellement cherch\u00e9 \u00e0 satisfaire des m\u00e9c\u00e8nes fortun\u00e9s qui lui garantissaient r\u00e9putation, revenus et commandes nombreuses. Son art \u00e9volue tout au long de sa carri\u00e8re : s\u2019il se concentre sur des sujets mythologiques et all\u00e9goriques de petites dimensions pendant sa jeunesse, les sujets sacr\u00e9s et les grandes compositions deviennent la marque de sa maturit\u00e9. Quant aux portraits, Palma en r\u00e9alise pendant toute sa carri\u00e8re pour r\u00e9pondre aux demandes de clients fortun\u00e9s de la r\u00e9gion. Il peint de nombreux portraits de belles jeunes filles blondes, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 cr\u00e9er un arch\u00e9type physique de la beaut\u00e9 f\u00e9minine v\u00e9nitienne qui perdurera apr\u00e8s sa mort. Palma \u00e9tait \u00e9galement connu pour modifier sa fa\u00e7on de peindre selon le commanditaire : pour un organisme religieux, il prenait un style purement v\u00e9nitien avec une pr\u00e9\u00e9minence de la sainte famille et du fond paysag\u00e9 ; tandis que pour les commandes priv\u00e9es, il mettait l\u2019accent sur l\u2019intimit\u00e9, le naturalisme et le clair-obscur, reflet de la mortalit\u00e9 et de l\u2019imperfection des sujets.<\/span>
Aujourd\u2019hui nombreuses sont ses oeuvres qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 attribu\u00e9es \u00e0 d\u2019autres au cours des si\u00e8cles (Giorgione, Titien ou Palma le Jeune). Mais le catalogue de ses oeuvres s\u2019est enrichi depuis quelques d\u00e9cennies, \u00e0 mesures de nouvelles attributions et d\u2019\u00e9tudes plus pouss\u00e9es de son style. Sa technique plastique, sa ma\u00eetrise du contrapposto, une palette de couleur riche et intense, un r\u00e9pertoire de personnages diversifi\u00e9 tout en respectant les constructions classiques ; toutes ces qualit\u00e9s ont domin\u00e9 son travail et fond de Palma l\u2019Ancien une figure majeure de la peinture de la Haute Renaissance italienne.<\/span>

This impressive portrait depicts a gentleman in bust form, viewed from \u00be and looking toward the viewer. Wearing a large hat and a black coat with a fur collar, this man is probably a merchant in view of his luxurious outfit. With a full beard and shoulder-length hair, this man is shown here in the Italian fashion of the first two decades of the 16th century.<\/span><\/em>
The ochre tones that dominate the composition highlight the rosy complexion of the subject\u2019s face and his enigmatic blue eyes. The intense gaze of the figure and his motionless but serene posture are accentuated by a soft, nuanced and controlled brushstroke; which gives this portrait a fascinating and intriguing aspect.<\/span><\/em>
True hub, commercial crossroads between the East and the West: Venice was, at the beginning of the 16th century, at its cultural peak. However, wars and plague epidemics anchor in the minds the dark trace of an ephemeral and fragile life. Sensitive to these ideas, the painters will play with the shade and the light in their compositions, to thus present us works more poetic, nuanced and more technical. This play of chiaroscuro becomes a true pictorial tradition, in particular Venetian, and of which our painter is the worthy representative.<\/span><\/em>
Jacopo Palma, whose real name was Jacomo Nigretti de Lavalle, was born into a modest family of shepherds in Serina (Bergamo, Lombardy) around 1480. Little is known about his early life and training: he is mentioned in Venice in 1510 where he was probably apprenticed. He began his career in the late Venetian Quattrocento and derived some principles from it: compositional patterns, iconographic themes and the ordering of large religious compositions. He also learned a lot from the great Venetian masters of his time such as Vittore Carpaccio, Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione and Titian whom he frequented. Palma soon found himself the leading painter in Venice and continually sought to satisfy wealthy patrons who guaranteed him reputation, income and numerous commissions. His art evolved throughout his career: while he concentrated on small mythological and allegorical subjects during his youth, sacred subjects and large compositions became the mark of his maturity. As for portraits, Palma made them throughout his career to meet the demands of wealthy clients in the area. He painted many portraits of beautiful young blonde girls, to the point of creating a physical archetype of Venetian female beauty that would endure after his death. Palma was also known for modifying his way of painting according to the client: for a religious organization, he took a purely Venetian style with a preeminence of the holy family and the landscape background; while for private commissions, he emphasized intimacy, naturalism and chiaroscuro, reflecting the mortality and imperfection of the subjects.<\/span><\/em>
Today many of his works have been attributed to others over the centuries (Giorgione, Titian or Palma the Younger). But the catalog of his works has been enriched over the last few decades by new attributions and more detailed studies of his style. His plastic technique, his mastery of the contrapposto, a rich and intense color palette, a diversified repertoire of characters while respecting the classical constructions; all these qualities dominated his work and founded Palma the Elder a major figure of the painting of the Italian High Renaissance.<\/span><\/em>
The attribution of our painting has been confirmed after individual and independent examination by Mauro Lucco (medievalist and modernist art historian, professor of art history at the University of Bologna, and curator of important exhibitions in Italy and abroad) and by Paul Joannides (Professor of Art History at the University of Cambridge, specialist in Italian Renaissance art and French painting, author of books on Titian, Masaccio and Raphael).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
