Portrait of Iseppo da Porto and his son Adriano
Portrait of Iseppo da Porto and his son Adriano is a c.1555 oil-on-canvas painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Paolo Veronese, now in the Contini Bonacossi collection, on long-term loan to the Uffizi in Florence.[1] Veronese also decorated Porto's Palazzo Porto in Vicenza, designed by Andrea Palladio and completed in 1552.
It is a pendant to a portrait of Iseppo's wife Livia or Lucia Thien, who he married in 1545, and one of their daughters.[2] It was acquired in Paris from the Sedelmeyer collection by Alessandro Contini Bonacossi, though its female pendant was by then in a private collection in Vicenza, from which it later passed to the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.[3]
