EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Ottavio Strada, 1567" painted by Jacopo Robusti Tintoretto, transports us back to the Italian Renaissance era. The young seventeen-year-old Ottavio Strada takes center stage in this oil on canvas masterpiece displayed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Intriguingly, Ottavio is depicted receiving a cornucopia filled with ancient coins from Fortune herself while turning away from a statue of Venus. This allegorical scene symbolizes his wealth and prosperity as well as his deep knowledge and passion for ancient coins. It is said that he was trained by his father, Jacopo Strada, who was an esteemed antiquary. The gold and silver coins pouring out of the cornucopia represent riches beyond measure and allude to Ottavio's expertise in numismatics. His connection to these precious artifacts is further emphasized by the presence of Venus' statue behind him, signifying beauty and love. Tintoretto's masterful use of colors and attention to detail brings this painting to life. The play between light and shadow creates depth within Ottavio's youthful face while highlighting the intricate folds of his clothing. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported into a world where mythological symbolism intertwines with human achievements—a testament to both Tintoretto's artistic genius and the rich cultural heritage of Italy during the Renaissance period.
