Anónimo - Retrato de Mercader
\Artist: Anónimo
Technique: Oil on panel\Signature: Not signed
19th century, French School. It was the Dutch who made the portraits of aristocrats and merchants fashionable. All the European painters echoed this iconography and it became another way to make a living when the customers of painters were only the Church and the aristocracy, but almost all of them with religious motifs. The French school made very good portraits, as the one we are showing.
