Ippolito II d Este, 1509-1572 - A Glimpse into the Cardinal's Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Ippolito II d Este, a prominent figure in the 16th century. Son of Alfonso I d Este, he led a remarkable life as both a cardinal and an influential member of Italian society. Gian Federigo Bonzagna skillfully immortalizes him through this bronze relief carving. Ippolito II's distinguished profile is highlighted by his majestic beard and traditional Catholic attire. The intricate details on his clothing showcase the craftsmanship of Bonzagna, while the inscription in Latin script adds depth to this historical piece. The hollow reverse side of the bronze cast reveals an incuse image mirroring its obverse counterpart. This unique feature further emphasizes the complexity and artistry involved in creating such a masterpiece. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this portrait offers viewers an intimate glimpse into Ippolito II's world. His strong presence and unwavering devotion to his faith are palpable through Bonzagna's meticulous sculpting technique. As we admire this heritage artwork, we are reminded not only of Ippolito II's significant role within Roman Catholicism but also his contribution to Italian history. Through this photograph print, we can appreciate how art has preserved moments from centuries past for us to explore and learn from today.
