MORONI, Giovanni Battista (b. 1525, Albino, d. 1578, Bergamo) Portrait of Antonio Navagero 1565 Oil on canvas, 115 x 90 cm Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan A Latin inscription on the lower right identifies the subject and gives the date of the painting: 1565. This is a typical example of an alternative form of portraiture to Titian's heroic and solemn type, Tintoretto's uneasy and dramatic renderings, and Lotto's subtly tormented and introspective works.
