EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases "Portrait of a Physician, probably Giovanni Guglielmo Riva (1627-1677), seated half-length" by Carlo Maratti. Painted between 1668 and 1672, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 100.3 x 74.9cm and is currently held in a private collection. The subject of the painting is believed to be Giovanni Guglielmo Riva, an esteemed physician from the late seventeenth century in Rome. With his distinguished mustache and black hair, he exudes an air of authority and expertise in the medical field. Carlo Maratti's skillful brushwork brings out every detail of the physician's attire and surgical instrument he holds with precision. The baroque style adds depth to the composition, highlighting both the sitter's importance as well as Maratti's mastery as an artist. The portrait captures a moment during daytime, where natural light illuminates the scene indoors. The side view perspective allows us to appreciate Riva's posture and facial features more intimately. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to seventeenth-century Italy—a time when artistry intertwined with medicine in capturing not only physical appearances but also conveying societal roles within healthcare professions.
