_Andrea Solario_ (Lombard: about 1460-1520). _See 734._
This picture "was ascribed to Giovanni Bellini before it entered the
National Gallery, and _dilettanti_ might well mistake it for a work of
Antonello da Messina. There seems to be little doubt that the picture
was painted by Solario at Venice, where he went in 1490 in company of
his brother.... The firmly drawn portrait of the senator, with its
minutely executed landscape in the background, reveals plainly that he
there became an ardent follower of Antonello" (Richter's _Italian Art
in the National Gallery_, p. 99).
