- Giovanni Battista Moroni (1520-1579) was an Italian painter of the Late Renaissance period. He is also called Giambattista Moroni. Best known for his elegantly realistic portraits of the local nobility and clergy, he is considered one of the great portrait painters of sixteenth century Italy.
Moroni was the son of architect Andrea Moroni. He trained under Alessandro Bonvicino "Il Moretto" in Brescia, where he was the main studio assistant in the 1540s, and worked in Trent, Bergamo and his home town of Albino, near Bergamo, where he was born and died. His two short periods in Trento coincided with the first two sessions of the Council of Trent, 1546-48 and 1551-53. On both occasions Moroni painted a number of religious works (including the altarpiece of the Doctors of the Church for the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, Bergamo) as well as the series of portraits for which he is remembered.
During his stay in Trent he also made contact with Titian and the Count-Bishop, Cristoforo Madruzzo, whose own portrait is by Titian but for whom Moroni painted portraits of his sons. There were nineteenth-century claims that he was trained by Titian at Trento; however, it is improbable he ever ventured to the Venetian's studio for long, if at all. Moroni's period as the fashionable portraitist of Bergamo, nowhere documented but in the inscribed dates of his portraits, is unexpectedly condensed, spanning only the years ca. 1557-62, after which Bergamo was convulsed in internecine strife and Moroni retired permanently to Albino, (Rossi, Gregori et al.) where, in his provincial isolation, he was entirely overlooked by Giorgio Vasari. His output at Bergamo, influenced in part by study of the realism of Savoldo, produced in the few years a long series of portraits that, while not quite heroic, are full of dignified humanity and grounded in everyday life. The subjects are not drawn exclusively from the Bergamasque aristocracy, but from the newly self-aware class of scholars and professionals and exemplary government bureaucrats, with a few soldiers, presented in detached and wary attitudes with Moroni's meticulous passages of still life and closer attention to textiles and clothing than to psychological penetration.
His output of religious paintings, destined for a less sophisticated audience in the local sub-Alpine valleys, was smaller and less successful: "the exact truth of parts nowhere added up, in his altar pictures, even to the semblance of credibility," Freedberg has observed of their diagrammatic schemes borrowed from Moretto and Savoldo and others. for example, he painted a Last Supper for the parish at Romano in Lombardy; Coronation of the Virgin in Sant'Alessandro della Croce, Bergamo; also for the cathedral of Verona, SS Peter and Paul, and in the Brera of Milan, the Assumption of the Virgin. Moroni was engaged upon a Last Judgment in the church of Gorlago, when he died. Overall, his style in these paintings shows influences of his master, Lorenzo Lotto, and Girolamo Savoldo. Giovanni Paolo Cavagna was an undistinguished pupil of Moroni; however, it is said that in following generations, his insightful portraiture influenced Fra' Galgario and Pietro Longhi.
S.J. Freedberg notes that while his religious canvases are "archaic", recalling the additive compositions of the late Quattrocento and show stilted unemotive saints, his portraits are remarkable for their sophisticated psychological insight, dignified air, fluent control and exquisite silvery tonality. Patrons for religious art were not interested in an individualized, expressive "Madonna"; they desired numinous archetypal saints. On the other hand, patrons were interested in the animated portraiture.
The National Gallery (London) has one of the best collections of his work, including the celebrated portrait known as Il sarto (The Tailor). Other portraits are found in the Uffizi (the Nobleman Pointing to Flame inscribed "Et quid volo nisi ut ardeat?"), Berlin Gallery, the Canon Ludovico de' Terzi and Moroni's self-portrait; and in the National Gallery, Washington, the seated half-figure of the Jesuit Ercole Tasso, traditionally called "Titian's Schoolmaster", although there is no real connection with Titian.

Excellent presentation of Moroni's work. He's one of the finest painter of faces there's ever been. The individual character of each person is clear to see. You almost expect his paintings to speak at any moment!
Excellent portraits. I enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Спасибо за возможность детально рассмотреть великие произведения! Вы - наши глаза!
Well worth a second look. Amazing considering when they were painted.
This its much appreciated this took a lot of hard work Thank you!!
Wow thank you so so much for your message. I can't even begin to explain just how much that means to me. I have recently been having a break from making new videos to concentrate on my own painting. I have only been running this channel since last October and I must admit that I have put a lot of time and effort into it. Collecting the best highest resolution images I can find, then finding a work flow for creating the videos and trying to land on a standard style for them. I have often been putting in 9 hours a day 7 days a week trying to get it started. And all the time being unsure if what I was doing was going to be liked by more people than just myself. So it's so good when I get a message from someone who has enjoyed them. It really does give me confidence and drive to continue. I will be back uploading new content some time this week. Now that I have a start I plan to have a better balance between time working on the chanel and time working on my own painting. I have a list of about 2500 artists I will be working through with the hope of having at least one video per artist and sometimes up to 5 videos for some of the most well known artists. I am also working on adding subtitles to all of the videos displaying the titles of each painting plus dates and other information. I hope my idea of including close ups of paintings when I have images of a high enough quality is also something you like and hopefully is something that makes us different from other channels that show artworks. Please let me know if you have time. I'm always really keen to hear what I'm doing right and what I need to change. I just want to make a resource that people enjoy and hopefully will be inspired by. Thanks again for reaching out to me. Glenn.
@@masterpainters1706 top notch ...
Sound not working ...
Note how boring and generic his religious and mythological painting are, and how authentic, vivid and deep are Moroni's portraits. It's clear that he was far more interested in real people than in fictional stories. His portraits are super modern, as if an artist from 19-20th century dressed their models in historical clothings. It's largely due to cool natural lighting and light backgrounds without many details.
