Giovan Battista Cipriani
(Florence 1727 - 1785 London), Portrait of Giuseppe Baretti (?), pastel on paper, laid down on canvas, 80 x 60 cm, framed
This three-quarter-length portrait might depict the well-known writer, poet, and scholar Giuseppe Baretti (Turin 1719–1789 London). There are strong resemblances to the portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds from 1773, who was the sitter’s friend (cf. D. Mannings, Sir Joshua Reynolds, A Complete Catalogue of His Paintings, New Haven-London 2000, vol. I, cat. 107, pp. 72/73, private collection; vol. II, fig. 72). In the present portrait, Baretti seems to be somewhat younger than in the London portrait, which suggests a date around 1766. The attribution of this painting has tentatively been suggested by Prof. Stella Rudolph (written communication, January 2011).
