EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print, created by Bernardino Capitelli in the early 17th century, showcases the esteemed figure of Rinaldo Orsino, Archbishop of Florence from 1474 to 1508. The artwork is a testament to Capitelli's mastery as an Italian artist and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Orsino's dignified presence is beautifully rendered through delicate pen and dark brown ink strokes, complemented by brushwork and brown washes. The artist skillfully employs white gouache highlights over traces of red chalk on green prepared paper, adding depth and dimension to this remarkable piece. The archbishop's circular shape and distinctive tonsure hairstyle draw attention to his religious significance within Christianity. His piercing gaze exudes wisdom and authority, while his flowing hair frames a face that reflects both strength and compassion. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Florence, Italy, this heritage artwork serves as a window into the past—a glimpse into the life of an influential man who played a pivotal role in shaping history. Through Capitelli's meticulous craftsmanship, we are transported back to a time when faith was deeply intertwined with society. As we admire this exquisite pen-and-ink drawing today, let us appreciate not only its artistic brilliance but also its historical value—an enduring tribute to Rinaldo Orsino's legacy as an archbishop who left an indelible mark on Florence during the vibrant years of the Renaissance.
