1022. AN ITALIAN NOBLEMAN.

_Moroni_ (Bergamese: 1525-1578). _See 697._

His left foot appears to have been wounded, for it is attached by

a kind of stirrup and black cord to a band above the knee. It is

interesting to compare this portrait with the closely corresponding one

by Moretto which hangs near it (1025). Both are excellent examples of

the several masters. Both were, no doubt, good likenesses; but there is

a suggestion of poetry in Moretto's which one misses in Moroni's. Both

are believed to be portraits of members of the Fernaroli family.
