Francesco Andreini (?) (Cesena, 1697 - 1751) - Oil on canvas; cm 110 x 80
Documented in the first period of the 18th century, the painting represents Cardinal Francisco Locatelli as indicated by the two inscriptions (Franciscus Locatelli
and All'illustrissimo e reverendissimo signor monsignor Locatelli vescovo di Spoleto
).
The author represents the cardinal, typically dressed, in a red frock, white laced shirt, skullcap, and mozzetta, with a crucifix and gold ring, in the foreground, in a frontal pose, using sinuous lines. The colours are warm and clear, the light is artificial and spreads shadows alover.
