Portrait of Giulio Clovio

The Portrait of Giulio Clovio is a masterpiece of the Late Renaissance, or Mannerism, by the eminent Greek artist, El Greco. Painted on Canvas using Oil, the artwork was created in 1571 during El Greco's sojourn in Rome. It was commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and became a part of the renowned Farnese collection. Later, in 1734, the portrait was inherited by Charles of Bourbon, who transported it to Naples. Today, this remarkable depiction of the miniaturist, Giulio Clovio, can be viewed at the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples.
