Francesco d'Este (nato nel 1430 circa, morto dopo il 1475)

Rogier van der Weyden Netherlandish

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 605

Rogier van der Weyden fu un ritrattista molto ambito. Il soggetto di questo ritratto, Francesco d’Este, era figlio illegittimo del signore di Ferrara e fu inviato nei Paesi Bassi per ricevere un’ istruzione e una formazione militare. Il giovane fu immortalato da Rogier van der Weyden a Bruxelles intorno al 1460. Il martello e l’anello che tiene tra le dita potrebbero essere premi vinti ad un torneo o simboli di potere.
