Giuseppe Nogari (Venice 1699-1763) "Allegory of Avarice" Oil on canvas 1st half of the 18th century Beautiful antique frame "Guilloche" Canvas measurements 46 x 36 frame 76 x 66 Excellent storage conditions Male portrait of extraordinary intensity depicting a old man with penetrating gaze and glassy eyes. He is holding a gold coin in his right hand. The figure creates a certain disturbance and lends itself well to impersonating Avarice. It is undoubtedly the work of the famous Venetian portraitist Giuseppe Nogari who distinguished himself in the eighteenth century for the depictions of elderly characters always described with exceptional realism.
