Morning Modelbuch (2/1/2019)

Another Moroni, “Gentleman in Adoration before the Baptism of Christ.” The painting is part of the collection of the Etro family, but was part of an exhibition at the Royal Academy and pictures can be found on that website. https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibition/giovanni-battista-moroni

While there are plenty of examples of the tiny drawnwork motifs used in the collar in later books, the date of the painting matches up best with the patterns in Matteo Pagano. He published several books. The plate I’ve included is from _La Gloria et l’Honore di Ponti Tagliate_ from 1556
