LEONI, Ottavio
(b. 1578, Roma, d. 1630, Roma)
Portrait of Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi
1621
Oil on canvas, 136 x 100 cm
Szépmûvészeti Múzeum, Budapest
This sensitive portrait of Ludovico, turning his head to meet the gaze of the viewer, must have been painted by Ottavio Leoni shortly after Ludovico, a protégé of Pope Gregory XV (1621-1623), became cardinal. Wearing the ring symbolic of his new office, his lively right hand grasps the chair, while his left hand languidly holds a letter, likely alluding to Ludovico's duties as secretary of state. In the seated, three-quarter length format the <a onclick="return OpenOther('/html/r/raphael/5roma/1/09julius.html')" href="/html/r/raphael/5roma/1/09julius.html">influence of Raphael</a> can be noted.
