What does the original artwork description of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art say about the artwork created by Paris Bordon? (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Two pages attend to the armor of a high-ranking officer, whose identity remains unknown. Pairing African and European servants was a regular conceit in sixteenth-century Italian painting. Here, the black youth who holds the helmet may have been intended to evoke a pun: the word morione (an armored headpiece) resembles that of moro (Moor). This painting belongs to a long history of military portraits, but the extensive landscape, with stormy skies over the advancing armies, and melancholic mood are unique to Bordon. It was much esteemed in the seventeenth century when it was sold to Cardinal Leopoldo de’ Medici.
