Charles Edward PERUGINI Kate

Perugini’s portrait of his wife Kate shows her wearing a sumptuous green dress over a white blouse,
facing to the right. She stands in a richly decorated room, with a stone dado and panels of scagliola,
with a relief sculpture on the left. The antiquarian style of dress adopted and the splendour
of the setting suggest that Kate is here being shown in an historical or literary role.

Jacopo Bassano (1510-1592) est un peintre italien maniériste de l'école vénitienne. Le plus âgé et le plus connu des peintres de la famille Dal Ponte.

Jacopo Bassano (1510-1592) known also as Jacopo dal Ponte, was an Italian painter who was born and died in Bassano del Grappa near Venice, from which he adopted the name. Trained in the workshop of his father, Francesco the Elder, and maybe in contact with the shop of Bonifazio Veronese in Venice, he painted mostly religious paintings including landscape and genre scenes .
