Portrait of Pier Maria Rossi di San Secondo
Portrait of Pier Maria Rossi di San Secondo is a painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Parmigianino, executed around 1535–1539 and housed in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain. The subject was Count of San Secondo, and the painting forms a pair with a group portrait of his Countess and their children, "Portrait of Camilla Gonzaga and Her Three Sons", although the latter is not unanimously attributed to Parmigianino.
History.
It is mentioned in a 1686 inventory of
countess is surrounded by her three sons, Troilo, Federico and Ippolito. It is the first case in Italian art in which this iconography was used.
The three sons appear to be from different hands, and were perhaps added in different moments.
