About
Why this artist matters now
Alessandro Longhi was a Venetian portrait painter and printmaker in etching. He is known best for his oil portraits of Venetian nobles of state. Like Sebastiano Bombelli in the prior century, Alessandro Longhi is noted for his zealous full-length depictions of robes and emblems of office. according to Olimpia Theodoli, his "tumultuous and unusual (etching) technique shows first-hand knowledge of Rembrandt's etchings".
