Studio of Frans Pourbus the Younger (undefined, Antwerp 1569-1622 Paris)

Portrait of Vincenzo I Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, in armour and wearing the Order of the Blood of Jesus Christ
oil on canvas, laid down on panel
137.2 x 105.7cm (54 x 41 5/8in).

Footnotes

The Duke is seen here wearing the Order of the Blood of Jesus Christ, the chivalric order that he himself established in 1608 with the approval of Pope Paul V. It is recorded that the name of the order was taken from the drops of blood of Christ said to be preserved in the Cathedral in Mantua.

The present work is based on the full-length portrait of the Duke in a private collection, Mantua, which was exhibited at the Mostra Iconografica Gonzaghesa, Mantua, 1937, as no. 161.
